The Majiayao culture was a group of smaller neolithic communities who lived primarily in the upper Yellow River region of eastern Gansu, Qinghai and northern Sichuan, China. The culture existed from c. 3300 to 2000 BC and marks the first time in history that the upper Yellow River region was widely occupied by agricultural settlements. It is famous for its painted pottery, which is regarded as a peak of pottery manufacturing at that time.

Banshan vessels are mainly limited in shape to large bulbous pots and urns, built by stacking coils of rolled clay and smoothing them before firing. Two-armed spiral designs are often painted on the vessel shoulders in black and maroon paint.
