About the Item

Chinese Neolithic Pottery Jar from the Majiayao Culture, specifically the Machang phase, in northwest China, and dating back roughly 4000 years. Jar is made from earthenware and painted with reddish-brown geometric motif. Jar has a pear-shaped body, featuring a rounded body that tapers gently to a small, stable base and narrows toward the neck before flaring at the neck. There are a pair of handles midway up the body. These jars were used as a daily ware item, holding grains or liquids and were also likely involved in ritualistic or funerary practices. The upper half features brownish painted patterns. The designs are not merely decorative but are believed to have held symbolic or ritual significance.
