About the Item

Chinese Han Dynasty earthenware cocoon jar Cocoon jars or Cocoon-shaped jars are funerary pottery vessels in China, belonging to the period of the 1st millennium BCE. The shape is similar to the Cypriot Barrel-shaped jugs, as is generally the decoration, with vertical bands across the breadth of the vessels. The earliest type of cocoon-form jar in China dates to the Western Zhou period (99-771 BCE), either in ceramic or in bronze. The Qin dynasty period has many of them, particularly in relation with the Mausoleum of the First Emperor. It has been suggested that the Chinese obtained this design from nomadic people, especially the Rong and Di cultures, through the medium of the steppes of Central Asia. 10,25 Inches High 11 Inches Wide 8 Inches Deep Condition: Very good with wear and losses to paint comensurate of age and wear.
