Untitled work
Description
Coupelle en forme de poisson. La vasque, de profil très évasé, forme une pointe à l'opposé d'un appendice trapézoïdal découpé en trois à son extrémité. L'ensemble évoque la forme un poisson. Groupes de quatre traits gravés sur le rebord. On connaît quelques exemples de coupes d'albâtre du Nouvel Empire égyptien, assez précisément comparables, mais plus réalistes, par l'adjonction de petites nageoires. Celle-ci doit être plus récente (époque gréco-romaine?). (Notice de M. de Cénival extraite de l'ouvrage 'Musée des Beaux-Arts de Dijon : Donation Granville : les objets', Ville de Dijon, 1976, publié sous la direction de Claude Rolley)
