Viking Glazed 'Resurrection Egg'
Circa 9th-10th century A.D.Sold for (Inc. bp): £910
A glazed hollow ceramic egg with a hole to the underside and a smaller pellet inside; regular, dragged yellow lines to the outer face. 30.4 grams, 41 mm
From the private collection of a London gentleman, from his grandfather's collection formed before the early 1970s.
These eggs are usually assigned to Kievan Rus workmanship, but in fact, they were found in a wider geographical area. They are thought to represent an early form of a popular Orthodox tradition of painted eggs, or 'pysanka', popular during the Easter holiday as a symbol of resurrection. However, the symbolism may be pre-Christian, with a connection to an idea of a Cosmic Egg, from which the world was created. -
