- Lot Description
Central Asia, Tibet, ca. 20th century CE. An intriguing and rare example of a beer container carved from a hollowed-out section of ram horn. The trapezoidal vessel features lustrous, dark brown colors along its surfaces and has its upper and lower peripheries accentuated with brass panels bearing scalloped borders and incised curvilinear detailing. The top surface has a copper pouring spout and a drilled vent hole that doubles as a filling port, and two ringlets along the verso support a leather carrying strap. Beer containers of this style are typically made from wood, so one carved from ram horn like this example is of an exceedingly rare style! Size: 7" L x 4.4" W x 10.3" H (17.8 cm x 11.2 cm x 26.2 cm)
Provenance: private Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA collection; ex-private Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA collection; ex-Bill Caskey collection, Topanga, California, USA; ex-private Hawes collection, San Francisco, California, USA, acquired in the 1970s
