Description from the seller
IMPORTANT!

- Additional condition information: Missing a shard from the upper rim. Still a very impressive item. See pictures.
- Indus Valley vessels, dating back over 4,000 years, are invaluable relics from one of the world's earliest urban civilizations. Known for their distinctive red pottery, these vessels reveal a mastery of pottery-making techniques. The intricate designs and motifs adorning them often reflect the Indus people's intricate culture and artistic sensibilities. These vessels also serve as archaeological clues, shedding light on trade, rituals, and daily life in this ancient civilization, which flourished in what is now modern-day Pakistan and northwest India. They remain a testament to the remarkable achievements of the Indus Valley civilization.
