    with Mahboubian Gallery, New York, acquired prior to 1966. Property of a London gentleman. Accompanied by an academic report by Dr Raffaele D’Amato. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by a search certificate no.12161-218632.

    This splendid vessel, decorated with a design possibly of Elamite origin, probably originates from North-Western Iran, or from South Caspian Area. Hammered sheet vessels were produced in Western Iranian metal workshops since the 3rd millennium B.C. (Moorey, Bunker, Porada, Markoe, 1981, p.82). By far the closest parallels are from Marlik, Kaluraz and Hasanlu, where finds of silver and gold vessels with animal friezes, and also of the same form and style of animal depiction and body decoration are recorded (Negahban, 1964, figs. 103, 108, 109, 111, 113, 136, 140, 144, pls. IV, VIIIA, XII, XVI).
