Naqada is a town on the west bank of the Nile known as Nubt in ancient Egypt. It gave its name to a pre-dynastic culture that existed in this area and other sites, stretching as far south as Nubia. Archaeologists sub-divide the period even further and ‘Naqada II’ refers to items produced c. 3500-3100 BC. During this era (also known as ‘Gerzean’) pottery production increased considerably and innovations in form, colour and technique were introduced. This reflects the increasingly complexity of society and new socio-economic conditions, such as intensified trade with groups from Western Asia. Farming became more intense and although hunting was still important, the lifestyle became more sedentary. The pottery produced in this period is characterised by the use of a pale clay, perhaps pre-worked on a hand wheel. The surface of the clay was left in its natural state and adorned with red-painted motifs of stylised people, animals, ships and geometric designs. Many of these are evocative of the flora and fauna of the Nile Valley.
This particular vessel is of globular form with barrel-shaped lug handles and a flat everted rim. The decoration is applied in red-slip on a buff ground and consists of concentric circles interposed with horizontal and vertical wavy lines. Similar vessels have been found in pre- dynastic graves and once held liquids or substances for use in the afterlife. In addition to its historic value, the vessel has a strong aesthetic appeal with its bold, abstract design. (AM) - (SK.027 ) « Less

It seems that the reasons why we war are the only things that have endured in the long history of armed conflict. In every other way, the very meaning of the word war has drastically shifted over the course of several thousand years. As warrior hoards became structured legions, less and less emphasis was placed upon individual prowess and courage. As spear became musket- the art of battle became nothing more than a commander’s wit and his numbers. The World Wars and the machine gun ushered in the current age of war, in which technology and tactics play the most important roles in combat- number of men and the skill of the soldier taking a back seat. But with great fondness we may recall the intimate and romantic warfare of the Ancients. When the prowess of a warrior meant the food in his belly and the sanctity of his home. When one met eyes with his opponent, and felt the strength of his arm and the speed of his leg in the interconnection of metal. To such soldiers, who knew that their enemy would be in every way involved with them personally- the craft and art of their weapon was just as important as the skill of their body. The grace and infinite beauty of this axe-head stand as a testament to the skill of metallurgists and passion of warrior-artists that lived and came to arms in Bactria over three thousand years ago. The sharp sweep of its rear- blade, the ferocity of the eye that gapes atop its haft- cover, and the supple fluidity of the blade make it a dazzling remnant of some the most romantic battlefields in history. This blade takes us back to a time when men were men and iron was iron. It is so very easy to imagine it blazing through the air- singing a duet of the ripping wind and tanging metal with the blade of an enemy. The soldier who held this was infinitely more involved with his weapon than anything we in the modern world could hope to experience. When ever, has such a beautiful masterwork been so vital to survival? When has an object ever been witness to such displays of heroism and strength on our part? It is rare to see an exhibition of such metallurgical brilliance- and ever more valuable when we consider the brave man who carved out his fortunes, and the fate of empires under its flashing blaze -(LO.1359)Bactrian Bronze Axe Head Circa:1200BCo900BCDimensions:4.75(12.1cm)wide Collection:Near Eastern Art Style:Bactrian Medium: Bronze Condition: Extra Fine « Less
