- Lot Description
East Asia, China, Neolithic Period, Majiayao culture, ca. 3300 to 2000 BCE. A beautiful and impressively large polychrome pottery vessel, the piriform body painted in black and red on a cream ground with four circular crest-like motifs, all featuring dense lattice-work patterns surrounded by a band of repeating circles followed by large concentric circular bands in solid red, black, and the natural color of the clay body. Additional stylized motifs adorn the vessel's waist. The cylindrical neck projects upwards to a flared rim with black zigzags at the innermost region, and a pair of applied loop handles are situated equidistantly along the midsection of the body. Size: 11.25" W x 11.4" H (28.6 cm x 29 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.
