Flask

Not on view

The pear-shaped body, narrow neck, and wide rim are characteristic of metal vessels of late Sasanian and early Islamic Iran. The prunted decoration of drop-shaped bosses and the small protrusions around the opening link this flask to a group of similar objects produced in eastern Iran and farther east between the eighth and the twelfth century.

Flask, Bronze; cast
