- Lot Description
Ancient Central Asia, Indus Valley, Harappan / Mohenjo-Daro Civilization, ca. 2700 to 2000 BCE. A wheel-thrown pottery bowl with a petite foot, squat walls, and a flared rim. Encircling the exterior is a pair of zebu bulls with elongated bodies, enormous humps, massive eyes, and gigantic horns. Surrounding the abstract creatures are painted star, linear, and curvilinear motifs, perhaps indicative of elements of the natural world. Size: 4.125" W x 2.75" H (10.5 cm x 7 cm)
This bowl was part of the Ebrahim Rokhsar collection, an esteemed collector with similar pieces gifted to the Brooklyn Museum in his honor.
