- Lot Description
Ancient Southeast Asia, Thailand, Ban Chiang, ca. 1100 BCE. A pair of elegant storage vessels, hand built with similar elongated bodies and rounded, but slightly flattened bases, dating to the earlier part of this period! The shoulder gently slopes inward to the dramatically flared neck that leads into the deep interior. These pots cannot stand upright unsupported, suggesting they were likely placed into ground as funerary urns or grave goods. The exteriors are decorated with a sinuous pattern formed on incised stippling and crosshatching in vertical registers and curvilinear bands. Impressing the pottery rather than painting on them dates these to the earliest phases of the Ban Chiang culture. Size of largest: 7.5" Diameter x 19" H (19 cm x 48.3 cm)
This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full printed and bound report is available for $50 to the buyer. Please contact us to request.
Provenance: ex-Ashland University Museum, Ashland, Ohio, USA, donated to Ashland University between July 1994 to December 1998
