Silver and gilt bowl,
Sassanian, 3nd - 4rd century A.D.
Silver, Length; 29 cm.

Ex. Z. Aaron collection, acquired Los Angeles in 1960

This bowl is clearly war booty. The new “owner” has picked pieces of silver from it to “pay” with. He kept the heavy foot obviously for last, but apparently didn’t live to use it. Inscription on the back.
