拍品描述 翻译
A RARE CHLORITE 'LION' LIBATION BOWL, 8TH CENTURY BCNorthern Syria. Carved as a rounded bowl, the underside decorated with two concentric circles, the rim surmounted by a finely modeled lion's head. The mouth forms a circular aperture through which libations once flowed into the bowl, the deeply recessed eyes originally inlaid with gemstones. The mane and fur are meticulously incised in layered striations that continue around the muzzle with fine engravings. At the rear, the head extends into a narrowing tubular projection, which was originally connected to a larger vessel, allowing liquid to be drawn and channeled through the lion's mouth.The stone is of the typical mottled grey-green color and shows a fine, naturally grown patina overall.Provenance: From an English private collection. Bonhams London, 7 October 1997, lot 258. A private collection in New York, United States.Condition: Good condition with old wear, commensurate with age. Small nicks and smoothened chips to the mouth and old losses to inlays. Repair to a small piece of the opening. Presenting very well.Weight: 584 g (excl. stand), 833 g (incl. stand)Dimensions: Length 17.5 cm (excl. stand)With an associated, modern stand. (2)The present lion-headed libation vessel belongs to the class of so-called lion bowls or lion libation spouts, a distinctive category of ritual vessels that flourished in northern Syria and adjacent Iranian highlands from the early Iron Age onwards. Excavated examples at Hasanlu have revealed spectacular versions made of Egyptian blue frit and stone, often combining a hollow lion protome gripping a bowl with a tubular extension connecting to a larger vessel (for example, the Hasanlu “lion bowl” from Burned Building II).These objects functioned as liquid drains and receptacles, channeling libations from storage jars or vessels through the lion's mouth into a collecting cup beneath. In religious terms, the lion motif here served an apotropaic and protective role, drawing upon the lion's associations with strength, guardianship, and the divine protector, thereby reinforcing the ritual potency of the offering. The present object's close adherence to this typology suggests it once formed part of a ritual installation, linking it to the broader cultic and symbolic networks of the Iron Age Near East and the renowned lion-bowl tradition centered at Hasanlu.Literature comparison: Compare a closely related 'Egyptian blue' lion bowl, partly covered with gold leaf, dated to 1000-800 BC, excavated in the Burned Building at Hasanlu, now in the Teheran Museum. Compare a closely related stone lion bowl from North Syria, dated to 800 BC, in the Kofler-Truniger Collection, Luzerne. Compare a related Iranian bronze lion's head terminal from Hasanlu, dated to ca. 9th century BC, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, object number 63.109.1.
