Indus-kulttuuri Terrakotta Koristeltu alus (Ei pohjahintaa)
A finely potted Indus Valley terracotta vessel featuring a globular body on a rounded base. The vessel narrows at the neck and opens at the top into a flared mouth. Three thick horizontal bands in dark pigment decorate the vessel, one at the top of the neck forming a collar, another on the shoulder, and the last in the middle of the belly of the vessel. Earthly encrustations to the surface. Some surface scratches and minor chips consistent with age.
The Indus Valley Civilisation extended from what today is northeast Afghanistan to Pakistan and north-west India. It 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.
