This Chinese Neolithic Majiayao culture vase, associated with the Yangshao region and dated 3300–2050 BC, is made of buff-coloured ceramic with a flared neck, two raised vertical handles and geometric black-and-red decoration.
Description from the seller
Antique Chinese ceramic recipient dating from the Neolithic period.
Chamois-colored ceramic pot with a wide neck featuring two vertical relief-decorated handles.
The vessel is decorated with a complex geometric motif in black and red composed of broad circles with hatched patterns, topped by a frieze of hatchings. The interior edge is adorned with a garland.
The vessel is defined by a flat base, a rounded body with an inclined shoulder, a squat neck with a flared rim and a pair of strap handles applied, each surmounted by a raised band.
This piece comes from the very first pottery tradition found on various archaeological sites along the Yellow River basin, ranging from the present-day Gansu province in northwest China to Henan province in central China.
