Chinese Neolithic Majiayao Bichrome Jar w/ Handles
About the Item
East Asia, China, Neolithic Period, Majiayao culture, ca. 3300 to 2000 BCE. An impressive pottery jar of a voluminous form hand-painted with abstract linear and geometric designs. Vertical, zigzag striations run down the tubular neck, stretching from the flared rim to the rounded shoulder, while the rotund body features a striped horizontal band of triangles at the top and V-shaped motifs with rectangular protrusions along its curved walls. Additional stripes encircle the top of the flared rim, and a pair of loop handles flank the bulbous body of the vessel. Some say that these painted designs were intended to represent Shaman's hands and are one of the earliest depictions of the human form on a vessel.
Provenance: private Vero Beach, Florida, USA collection, acquired in London in the 1960s; ex-old English collection
