Vintage Museum Copy of a Cretan Vase c.1500 BC
A very interesting little terracotta piece, a museum produced copy that stood in for a Cretan original that must have undergone some sort of conservation. Though a temporary display piece it is finely, and one assumes faithfully, made. The decorative original is referenced on the base in pencil, adding to its charm as both a slice of ancient and recent history.
Measures approx. 15cm x 13cm
