- Lot Description
East Asia, China, Neolithic Period, Majiayao culture, ca. 3300 to 2000 BCE. A beautiful and impressively large polychrome pottery vessel, the piriform body painted in black and red on a cream ground with four sweeping crest-like motifs, two enclosing dense lattice-work patterns, and the other two enclosing more diffused lattice-work illustrations. The cylindrical neck projects upwards to a flared rim adorned with red dots atop a black ground, and a pair of applied loop handles are situated equidistantly along the midsection of the body. Size: 13.25" W x 12.125" H (33.7 cm x 30.8 cm).
The Majiayao culture was comprised of a group of Neolithic communities who lived primarily in the upper Yellow River region in eastern Gansu, eastern Qinghai, and northern Sichuan, China. The Majiayao culture represents the first time that the Upper Yellow River region was widely occupied by agricultural communities and it is famous for its painted pottery, which is regarded as a peak of pottery manufacturing at that time.
Provenance: private southern California, USA collection, acquired before 2000
