• 6TH C. BYZANTINE POTTERY JAR W/ SEA
  6TH C. BYZANTINE POTTERY JAR W/ SEA ENCRUSTATIONSNear East / Holy Land, Byzantine Empire, ca. 6th to 10th century CE.

The piece rests on a rounded but stable base, and the body has a carinated midsection, a corseted neck, and a broad flared mouth. The red-brown hues of the terracotta under the marine calcite buildup are visible in some areas, but the sea has clearly claimed this vessel as there are fascinating remains of many different types of marine life like barnacles, worm casings, and clam shells! These bowls were made and exported throughout the Empire and many shipwrecks containing pottery and other goods for trade have been discovered throughout the Mediterranean.
