- Lot Description
Ancient Central Asia, Indus Valley, Harappan / Mohenjo-Daro civilization, ca. 2700 to 2000 BCE. A lovely pottery bowl presenting a ring-form base and impressively thin walls that slant outwards to a wide body and then up to a gently inward-curving rim. Adorned in hues of yellow, red, and black on a beige ground, the exterior of the bowl is beautifully painted with a design of 2 striped fish separated by short, wavy striations along the bottom half and an abstract, geometric motif featuring a rectangular pattern along the upper portion. A rich black glaze envelops the interior of the ancient vessel. One of the most popular motifs of the Indus Valley, fish pictograms translated to star, as the words for both were the same in the ancient Indus language and symbolized the God of Waters in Indus Valley iconography. Size: 5.6" Diameter x 2.9" H (14.2 cm x 7.4 cm)
Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection, acquired 2002; ex-private Ibrahimi collection, California, USA
