A Near Eastern Hardstone Abstract Seated Figure, Possibly Ancient.
A stylised figure carved from dark hardstone, displaying a bold abstract form with smooth, rounded contours. The figure is shown seated, the body composed of tiered, bulbous segments that taper towards the base. The arms are reduced to simple horizontal projections, while the torso features a row of raised nodules. The head is elongated and cylindrical with minimal facial detailing—small drilled depressions indicating eyes and mouth—giving the piece a primitive and iconic presence.
H: Approximately 9.5cm
Provenance: Private collection from a distinguished W London collector.
