A finely potted Indus Valley terracotta vessel featuring a globular body standing on a small flattened base. The vessel narrows at the neck and opens at the top into a flared mouth. The upper body of the vessel is painted with evenly spaced vertical forms. Two thick horizontal bands form a collar around the neck and three bands decorate the space beneath the main register. Earth encrustations and cracks to the surface. Chip to the rim, as well as a repair to the different part of the rim.
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.
