Chinese Barrel-Form Brass Urn with Traditional Archaistic Ornamentation and Lid
Located in Palm Desert, CA
A Chinese four-legged barrel-form brass urn cast and engraved with archaistic decoration from the 20th century. The gently rounded sides are cast with the dispersed elements of two taotie masks, Archaistic auspicious beasts formed by a pair of stylized and confronted dragons which constitutes the features of this mythical creature, abstractly rendered in low-relief hooked curls. Two bands of kui or passing dragons flank the taotie ornamentation on the belly, all upon an engraved and very finely delineated white leiwen ground symbolizing thunder. Raised on four atlantes with a few anatomical engraved details, the urn possesses a flat circular lid decorated with stylized birds and topped with a phoenix-shaped knob with a ring, a propitious symbol in Chinese art. The white engraved ground nicely contrasting with the dark patina along with the Archaistic traditional low relief decoration echoes Chinese archaic ritual bronzes used in ceremonies or buried in the tombs of the elites for use in the afterlife. This Chinese barrel...

Chinese Neolithic Painted Pottery Jar
Located in Atlanta, GA
This large Chinese neolithic jar was likely from one of the cultural clusters along the Yellow River in Northern China such as Yangshao culture (5000-3000BC). The coarse earthen ware features a bulbous body, a short neck opening to a round mouth and two side jug ears under the sloping shoulders. It displays a slightly irregular form indicating that it was hand built instead of using a potter's wheel. The dark ocher paint decorates the upper exterior with concentric bands of different widths along the neck and upper shoulder. The decoration further continues downward with more striking geometrical patterns, with a demarcating triangular bands and abstract pattern that appears insect-like. The lower part remains unpainted. These types of painted jar and urns were found by Swedish archeologist Johan Gunnar...
