Cypriot Alabaster Alabastron
6th-4th century B.C.Sold for (Inc. bp): £104

An example of the greater variability in form is the stone type with alabastron body and anthropomorphic top, sculpted with the upper body of a female. These types have been found in the eastern Mediterranean and Italy dating from the 7th century to the mid to late 6th century and can be divided into two groups: an eastern group beginning in the seventh century, based on Mesopotamian prototypes, and probably produced on Cyprus, as evidenced by its close relation to contemporary Cypriot sculpture; and a western group dating to the first half of the sixth century and produced in Etruria, probably in imitation of eastern examples. -
