Comments:Rawson 1992:This shape is reminiscent of Central Asian, Iranian and Hellenistic-Roman ceramics, metalwork and glass. Pieces like this one were made for burial rather than for daily use and imitate metalwork and glass rather than the finest ceramics. See also BM 1930.0719.52 and BM 1936.1012.209.
