Gilded and inlaid with gems, the small silver bowl that inspired this collection demonstrates how artistic styles intermingled in the ancient Near East in the first century B.C. The dynamic decoration is composed primarily of a net of two rows of eight staggered pentagons, arranged around a central leaf calyx of Near Eastern type. Each individual pentagon frames a rosettelike flower with a garnet in the center. Another garnet marks the center of the bowl. The pentagon, or net-pattern composition, is part of the Greek-Hellenistic repertoire that came into use in the second century B.C., and the mixture of it with the central calyx and the flowers suggests the work of a Hellenized Near Eastern atelier.
