Provenance

The Private Collection of the Baidun Family
Mahmoud Baidun (1920-1980) founded what would become Khader M Badiun and Sons Galleries in Jerusalem, Isreal. As a young boy, Mahmoud would accompany archeologists, biblical scholars, and visiting delegations on excavation sites all over Jerusalem and other sites within the country. Earning the trust of scholars and archeologists alike, Mahmoud became an indispensable presence and guide to other visiting scholars. When Mr. Baidun entered the antiquities trade, he would be granted trade license under the British Mandate and from the Hashemite Kingdom. When Israel authorized the trade of antiquities, Mahmoud was issued one of the first antiquities licenses issued in the country. He would later forge close relationships with other merchants; slowly building a massive private collection that would go on to sell to political leaders, international museums, and private collectors globally.

A small footed cup (tazza) with squat stemmed foot topped by a wide bowl. The cup itself has a pinched lip with hourglass form that rests on a squat foot that slightly widens at the base to stabilize the piece. Such examples were created both by Egyptian and Canaanite craftsmen with intent to have these used in religious ceremonies. This particular example was found in Samaria.
