AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Three pottery objects made by the Cambodian Khmer. These antique pots date from around 1200. Authentic handcraft with transitions from glazed to unglazed foot, lightly vitrified skin that fits wood-fired dragon kilns in the Angkor region. Nice wear and patina.
The people of Cambodia are called Khmer, and this type of pottery is named after them. The Khmer people have throughout history been a people with a great love for art, and that is still evident. Between the ninth and thirteenth centuries, Angkor, the Khmer empire, was the most powerful and prosperous empire in Southeast Asia, with unparalleled technique and architecture. In this period, these three objects were made.
The condition is wonderful; apart from age-related traces there is no damage.
