Indus-völgy Terrakotta Csésze (Nincs minimálár)
A finely moulded Indus Valley cup, likely used in antiquity as a drinking vessel. The cup features a rounded body that narrows in slightly before flaring out to open to a wide mouth with straight sides. It stands on a flat rounded foot that has been chipped. The foot and stem have been decorated with black pigment. The body is decorated with a series of black lines, two parallel lines near the mouth of the vessel, two more before the rounded bottom half, and another pair at the top of lower half.. The rim is enriched with a dark band on the inside. Earthy encrustation covers the surface of the vessel. Minor chip to the rim and surface.
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.
