- Lot Description
East Asia, China, Neolithic Period, Majiayao culture, ca. 3300 to 2000 BCE. A sizable and hand-built pottery jar with a narrow base, an inverted piriform body bearing a rounded shoulder, a flared rim, and two tubular handles spaced equidistantly around the midsection. The buffware body is decorated with applied black pigment that forms drooping rungs between the handles, broad zigzags with paw-like motifs on the upper body, and linear motifs on both the interior and exterior surfaces of the rim. Vessels like these were perhaps used for storing large volumes of foodstuffs or were even used as burial urns. Size: 17.25" W x 16.7" H (43.8 cm x 42.4 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: private collection of the late Karming Wong; approximate date of acquisition: late 1970 to early 1980
