• Lot Description
  C. 3rd millennium BC. Ancient Central Asia, Indus Valley. A large example of an Indus Valley civilisation bowl, with lightly flaring walls and a flat foot. The uppermost interior surface of this ochre coloured vessel is decorated with a series of black, stylised gazelles. Below the ring of gazelles are a series of geometric designs arranged in bands. The exterior of this vessel is sparsely decorated with four black vertical geometric stripes, and three black bands encircling the foot. The Indus Valley Civilisation was an important Bronze Age culture which arose in c. 3300 BC and lasted until c. 1300, though its heyday, to which this ceramic vessel belongs, was in the 3rd millennium BC. Gazelles are a recurring motif in the Indus Valley and may reflect the importance of such animals to survival in this region. Cf. N. Satyawadi, 1994. Proto-Historic Pottery of the Indus Valley Civilisation: Study of Painted Motifs, New Delhi. Excellent condition. Provenance: From an old British collection of Asian Art formed in the 1990 on the UK and European art market. Size: H:120mm / W:300.3mm ; 1297g
