- Lot Description
East Asia, China, Neolithic Period, Majiayao culture, ca. 3300 to 2000 BCE. A wonderful handmade pottery jar displaying a narrow, circular base, impressively thin walls that gently expand outwards to a bulbous body, a round shoulder, and a cylindrical neck that tapers to a flared rim. Beautifully embellished with broad strokes of black paint on a vibrant russet-hued ground, the ancient vessel is adorned with a lovely geometric motif featuring two registers; the top band features a repeated vertical zigzag pattern, and the larger bottom register boasts a design of concentric diamond-shapes surrounded by triangles and zigzags. Two petite loop handles protrude from the sides of the vessel, angled slightly downward. An attractive example! Size: 12.75" in diameter x 14.25" H (32.4 cm x 36.2 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.
Provenance: ex-Phoenicia Holyland Antiquities, New York, New York, USA, acquired before 2010
