About the Item
A boldly painted Chinese pottery "lotus jar" with incised decoration, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Dali Kingdom, 10th century, Yunnan, China.
The elegant jar of generous proportions, with a wide body supported by a short, splayed pedestal foot, and wide mouth surmounted by a lid with a knob handle.
Crafted of red pottery, the vessel has been coated in a rust slip and painted with large and bold overlapping lotus petals in a white pigment. The body has also been incised with a series of freeform designs representing abstracted trees and clouds. The cover with an incised pattern possibly alluding to a yantra, or a geometric representation of the cosmos, with the knob handle symbolizing Mt. Meru, the Buddhist center of the universe.
Known as a "lotus jar", these type of vessels were produced in southern China's Yunnan province during the 10th to 13th century, when it was a separate kingdom known as the Dali Kingdom. Buddhist in nature, these jars originally held sutras, prayers, offerings, and dedications, and were buried at the base of temples, pagodas, and other holy sites.
