Romano-Egyptian Incised Alabaster Dish

Egypt, Romano-Egyptian period, ca. 3rd to early 5th century CE. A petite bowl carved from mottled yellow-white alabaster with gray inclusions and veining interspersed throughout the composition. The vessel exhibits a squat, bullseye-style foot beneath the wide basin floor, an incised 'braided' register around the exterior, and squat walls that terminate in a gently flared rim. A cute example of fine Romano-Egyptian artistry! Size: 2.8" W x 1.25" H (7.1 cm x 3.2 cm)

Provenance: ex-estate of Eldert Bontekoe, Pegasi Numismatics, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA, acquired before 2000
