Object Description
An Assyrian finely cast hemispherical bronze bowl with a shallow calotte-shape. The bowl features a flat base and a moulded rim. Its slightly convex walls render an elegant continuously curved profile. The interior base features a raised rosette from which a small, cylindrical protrusion rises. The rosette, comprising wide, even petals is framed by an encircling pattern. Parts of the interior and exterior surface are clear of patination and have a beautiful polished finish.
Date: Circa late 8th century BC
