Large Thai Ban Chiang Painted Pottery Vessel, Late Period, circa 300 BC

About the Item

A massive Ban Chiang culture painted pottery vessel, circa 300 BC, Thailand. The large storage jar painted with a bold spiral pattern in red ochre on a buff ground. The spiraling patterns taking up most of the body of the vessel are reminiscent of a mammary form. The wide, tall neck and everted mouth decorated with anthropomorphic or zoomorphic forms. The vessel would originally have had a separate pottery pedestal to support the rounded base. Now it is supported by a simple woven grass donut. The Ban Chiang culture was a Bronze Age culture centered along the waterways of Northern Thailand, Udon Thani province. They are known for their rich material culture of bronze grave goods and painted pottery objects.
