Bronze Age Ceremonial Cup Stone Slab
Circa 2nd millennium B.C.Sold for (Inc. bp): £1,235
Irregular slab fragment with weathered upper face, cluster of seven cup-marks without surrounding rings. 50.6 kg, 57.5 cm
From a collection acquired on the UK art market from various auction houses and collections mostly before 2000. From an important Cambridgeshire estate; thence by descent.
The fragment plausibly represents one corner of an arrangement such as that at Tanum, Denmark (Milstreu & Dodd, 2018, fig.8) in which a cluster of shallow depressions forms a larger pattern. The depressions may have been used to collect dew or rainwater, visualised as a gift from the gods provided without human intervention, as well as for ceremonial uses. -
