[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 9977021, member: 8267"]A very interesting piece, and clearly related to the one in the link. The link provides quite a bit of useful information - [ATTACH=full]500935[/ATTACH] FIGURINE PUBLISHED IN THE BOOK "BRAČ - LANDSCAPES AND MONUMENTS" / Supetar 24.11.2014. "This ceramic figurine was found on the eastern side of the island of Brač in the area of Vejaci, at the foot of the largest prehistoric fortress in Brač, Velo Gračišće, on the border with the ancient site of Bunje. It was bought from the owner of the field where it was found with the private funds of the members of the Foundation and donated to the collection of archaeological objects on the island of Brač. The figurine was recently published in the books "BRAČ - landscapes and monuments" and "BRAČ - landscapes and monuments". "As this ritual figurine is irresistibly reminiscent of the Vučedol dove, it aroused enormous interest in the profession, and academician Petar Šimunović affectionately nicknamed it the Brač partridge." The mention of the Vučedol dove led me to follow up on that. I found it is a popular subject for reproductions - [URL]https://www.oocities.org/vucedol_culture/Ceramics.htm[/URL] [URL]https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=01222bffacf6d4a0&q=Vucedol+dove&udm=2&fbs=AEQNm0DfIOrc-JVK7JSIXTRypzh1d0Xgc-Qx-MWluXtsBh8oLqezDGS-GBRoVhGkujFN9L89G8OpQ_4dZf-PrNf_f2qsBtQmtLqsm6yxAHTedliasJBB9FQSsYwZnyPqqc5ldCsnkGqLbFClqXddPoG99GG8FOnDSp-qlZzIkKjMKkP9CcmcXuDZxiWgaR1I6cT030OuyH9GGaehPhQtpHoYO4976gklqg&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj49JndyYaJAxWXwvACHSYRF9kQtKgLegQIEBAB&biw=1451&bih=688&dpr=1.25[/URL] Your pitcher comes from an area well versed in producing convincing reproductions/fakes, so without a provenance it may be difficult to determine whether it is a genuine archeological artifact or well done imitation. I notice a subtle pattern around the neck area that looks like the impression made when a slab of clay is rolled out on canvas - [ATTACH=full]500951[/ATTACH] This might be evidence of a modern technique. Alternatively, it might be evidence that the pitcher was wrapped in a textile in a burial context.[/QUOTE]
