AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Khmer-style earthenware food pots from Cambodia. These are archaeological finds from a riverbed. They date from the first half of the 19th century.

The Khmer ethnic group is an Austroasiatic ethnic group from Cambodia and also one of the oldest ethnic groups in the region. Theravada Buddhism is predominantly practiced.
According to an old legend, the Varnan Dynasty, old Cambodia, originated because an Indian Brahman married the celestial nymph 'Mera'. This marriage laid the foundation for the Khmer and Cambodia.

The old food pots are in good condition. Due to use and of course the antiquity they have characteristic outward features.

The dimensions are:
high 8.25 cm × diameter 14 cm
high 7.5 cm × diameter 16.5 cm
high 7 cm × diameter 18.75 cm
high 8 × diameter 15 cm

The pots are carefully packed and shipped (excluding the stands used for the photo).

Seller's Story

Rootz Gallery has an extensive collection of remarkable art objects from the non-Western world and a collection of modern and contemporary art. The art collection originally started with the gathering of modern and contemporary art. Due to a long-standing fascination with other cultures, it was quickly expanded to include non-Western art objects. The gallery has primarily focused on non-Western art for a long time, but has recently also refocused on modern and contemporary art. Many pieces originate from ritual contexts and have been carefully collected over a period of 40 years. The items, often acquired during travels and coming from old collections, offer a unique insight into authentic cultures and traditions.
