- Lot Description
Central Asia, Persia, Seljuq, ca. 1040 to 1196 CE. A finely cast bronze oil lamp depicting a perched bird with a beaked visage atop a long neck at the front of the vessel, low relief and incised feathers surrounding the fill hole, a spout at the tail end, all atop a tiered circular base. This endearing avian lamp was created in the medieval Turko-Persian empire known as Seljuk (Seljuq). The endearing perky bird's visage is full of personality with prominent bulging eyes with partially pierced pupils, decorative crest feathers set behind, and a pronounced curved beak. The entire surface is covered with an extremely deep green-black patina adding to its charm. Suspension rings attached behind the bird's neck and just before the wick hole/mouth at the end of the nozzle and notch-shaped perforation under pedestal base to attach to pole. Size: 4.875" L x 3.875" H (12.4 cm x 9.8 cm)
Provenance: private East Coast, USA collection; ex-private Guevrekian collection, New York, acquired in the 1980s

#146890Old nicks to periphery of wick hole/mouth. Missing suspension chains and pole to which it was at one time attached. Perforation atop bird's head suggests once had an ornament. Slight denting to suspension rings. Otherwise very good with gorgeous deep green, almost black patina.Condition
