Lot 697
Ceramic Spout(?) from an Alexandrian Vessel. Egypt, 1st century BC. - 1st century AD. High fired in a deep pinkish clay, the columnar piece has four molded/hand-worked faces on one side. In descending order: Horus wearing nemes headdress, Satyr, Dionysios, and Bes, perhaps indicating the vessel had a ritual use. Nicely preserved, with sharp detailing. Height: 7-1/2", on custom stand. Interesting and rare.
Estimated Value $675 - 975.
Ex Superior Fine Antiquities, March 12, 1994, lot 123.
