Floral Perfume Bottle

Rissala Collection

This beautiful container, likely used as a perfume bottle, shows intricate carving and decoration on ivory. The curved shape of the bottle makes the floral decoration pattern even more impressive, in addition to the two decorative metallic bands along the body of the bottle. The lid of the bottle is also impressive in the detail of its carving- one observes detailed floral motifs decorating the top, surmounted by a blooming flower, while the edge is also decorated in a floral lily motif. The lid is attached to the bottle by a small decorative chain. The intricacy of the carving and decoration emphasises the luxurious nature of this artefact, which was likely used for ritual purposes or by the elite.
