Lot 1472

5th-3rd century BC. A silver footed dish with flared base, thickened parcel-gilt rim, incised parcel-gilt design of a royal bust with crown, crescentic ornaments to the chest. 256 grams, 20cm (8"). From an important private London collection; formed in the 1970s and 1980s. Classical Greek sources describe how gold and silver vessels were commonly used by the Persian court and the aristocracy, and that wine was an integral part of Persian banquets. After the battle of Plataea in 479 BC the camp of the Persian general Mardonius was sacked by the Greek army and Herodotus describes the huge numbers of silver and gold vessels that were carried off. Ancient sources also tell us that it was common practice for the king and the nobility to give gold and silver vessels to individuals as a sign of their favour towards them. Shallow lobed bowls such as this are a particularly distinctive type of Achaemenid tableware and the depiction of a king or noble would indicate a prestigious origin. Fine condition, repaired.
