- Lot Description
"East Asia, Japan, Jomon Period, ca. 14,000 to 300 BCE, most likely about 5,500 years old. A considerable hand-built terracotta vessel of a sprouting form with a flat base, the exterior walls impressed with an uneven and non-linear corrugated pattern made by pressing a cord onto the wet clay before firing; hence the term ""jomon"" which translates to ""cord pattern."" The large, upturned rim flares outward relative to its cylindrical form with four nubbin-shaped projections just below the rim, a small bifurcated loop handle, and a sweeping triangular handle with multiple suspension holes. According to the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Heilbrunn Timeline essay, ""They (potters of the Incipient Period) produced deep pottery cooking containers with pointed bottoms and rudimentary cord markings—among the oldest examples of pottery known in the world."" This vessel may date to the early Jomon period given the relatively simplistic decorations, as those of the middle period were complex in their decorative aspect. Size: 10.75"" W x 14.25"" H (27.3 cm x 36.2 cm).
Condition: Vessel repaired from several large pieces with some areas of restoration, resurfacing, overpainting, and small losses along break lines. Surface wear and abrasions commensurate with age as expected, small losses along base, body, handles, and rim, with some fading and darkening, and light fading to impressed cord patterns. Nice earthen deposits throughout.
