Width: 28cm

A striking Assyrian terracotta urn featuring deeply carved reliefs of winged, bearded figures believed to be inspired by Apkallu or Lamassu, protective spirits from ancient Mesopotamian mythology.

This large vessel evokes the artistry of Neo-Assyrian palace reliefs, with prominent feathered wings, traditional stylised beards, and tiered headdresses typical of divine or semi-divine figures in 9th–7th century BC Assyrian art.

The urn’s surface shows deliberate aging and natural weathering effects, lending it a timeworn, archaeological feel.

Usage:
Perfect for interior decorators, collectors of ancient-style artefacts, or as a centrepiece for garden or indoor display. Suitable for classical, museum-style or eclectic interiors.

Care instructions:
Dust gently with a dry cloth. For indoor use or sheltered outdoor locations. Not recommended for use with water or live plants.
