Valle del Indo Terracota Buque (Sin Precio de Reserva)
A fine Indus Valley terracotta cup, possibly used in antiquity as an eating or drinking vessel. The vessel features thinly moulded walls. The sides are mostly straight with a sharp pivot to a more rounded base resting on a small circular foot. The body is decorated with a variety of geometric motifs, painted on in a black pigment, though now faded. There are several chips along the lip of the vessel and some scratches across the body.
The Indus Valley Civilisation was one of three early and widespread cradles of civilisation along with Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. At its peak, the Indus Valley Civilisation, which included such sites as Harappa and Mohenjo-daro, may have had a population of over five million, who developed new techniques in pottery, seal carving, and metallurgy.
