- Lot Description
South Asia, eastern India, Bengal, Chandraketugarh, ca. 2nd century BCE to 1st century CE. A remarkable mold-made pottery jar presenting an elegant form composed of a bulbous body, a sloped shoulder, a narrow neck, and a dramatically flared rim, all sitting upon a round yet stable base. Boasting a hue of deep grey, the ancient vessel features an elaborate program. The piece is dominated by its largest register which features a row of dozens of bare-breasted women, all wearing translucent lungis, extravagant coiffures, and many jeweled adornments. All standing contrapposto, each of the lovely women are positioned in diverse poses as though dancing, while 5 hold spears. Though the identity of these women is unknown, their form is later associated with Durga, the demon-fighting form of the Hindu mother goddess, Parvati. Intricately detailed registers of lotus flowers flank central register, accompanied by rope-like and star motifs, and a fine abstract design of horizontal striations. Size: 6.875" in diameter x 7.75" H (17.5 cm x 19.7 cm)
This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full report will accompany purchase.
This piece has been searched against the Art Loss Register database and has been cleared. The Art Loss Register maintains the world’s largest database of stolen art, collectibles, and antiques.
