A spouted ewer with slightly flared base, pear-shaped belly and tapering spout. The ribbed handle is attached to the main body and rises to the back of the spout. A ball shaped pomegranate counter weight sits at the top. With a very simple but elegant in design, it is likely this vessel was used a wine pourer. 36 cm. height CATALOGUE NOTE This type of ewer, whose shape is derived from known Sasanian silverware, has been dated from the start of the 8th century, thanks to a record of a similar ewer in the Tiflis Museum in Georgia. There is a similar shaped ewer in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and another, exhibited in Riyadh and London, in the collection belonging to the Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan.
