- Lot Description
Central Europe, Neolithic Period, Vinca culture, ca. 5700 to 4500 BCE. A gorgeous handmade pottery vessel of unique form, presenting a ring-shaped foot, a diamond-shaped body, a tubular neck, and a circular, flared rim. Presenting with a rich taupe hue, the ancient vessel is adorned with lovely white-painted incised striations forming four registers of vertical, diagonal, dotted, and undulating striations. Target-like designs are featured at each corner of the diamond-shaped body. A ribbon-like handle stretches from the shoulder to the rim with a decorative tab-shaped form protruding at the top. Size: 3.25" in diameter x 4.625" H (8.3 cm x 11.7 cm)
This piece has been tested using CIRAM thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and of the time period stated. A full report will accompany purchase. Though the CIRAM report states that this piece is Valdivian, further analysis of its characteristics has revealed that it is from Vinca culture.
