An incredible vessel, Lebes Gamikos vessels were used in ceremonial settings, most often associated with weddings, although their exact purpose remains uncertain - likely a vessel to sprinkle the bride with water before the ceremony. With two glazed handles and a bulbous body, a gaping mouth with formed rim, the form of this vessel is eccentric and beautiful. Exhibiting fingerprint markings from the original maker, 2400+ years ago, the feeling of humanity echoes through this. In impeccable condition. A piece perfect for display or as a bud vase for dried flowers.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eProvenance: Private Montreal Antiquity Collection\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"gallery elder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44022079029382,"sku":null,"price":425.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0548\/8702\/2726\/files\/51151764-6BD1-414D-AA33-84C127351AF7.jpg?v=1780233791","url":"https:\/\/galleryelder.com\/products\/greek-corinthian-lebes-gamikos-vessel","provider":"gallery elder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
