Footed goblet

Unknown

ca. 1600–1200 BCE · Ceramic · Ancient Near Eastern Art

This goblet has a globular body, a wide mouth, and a high foot. It is made of a gritty, yellowish-buff clay, and much of the body is restored. It was excavated at Zarde Savar, a small cemetery site in Luristan in the Zagros Mountains of western Iran. The shape is comparable to those of Late Bronze Age vessels excavated at Tepe Giyan to the east. Thus this goblet, and the cemetery at Zarde Savar, perhaps also date to this period.
