Description from the seller

Antique Chinese ceramic vessel from the Neolithic period.
Chamois-colored ceramic pot with a wide collar featuring two vertical handles.
The vessel is decorated with a complex geometric pattern shaded in black, consisting of broad circles with hatching motifs, topped by a frieze of hatchings. The inside of the lip is adorned with a garland.
The container is defined by a flat base, a round body with an inclined shoulder, a stout neck with a flared rim, and a pair of strap handles applied with a horizontal black line.
