A PAINTED POTTERY JAR, NEOLITHIC PERIOD, MAJIAYAO CULTURE

China, Banshan-Machang type, 2500-2000 BC. Well-potted with broad, rounded shoulders and a cylindrical neck, this vessel features two neatly applied loop handles. The exterior is freely painted with ‘cowry’ motifs within horizontal bands using dark brown and Bordeaux-red pigments, while the neck is adorned with a lozenge pattern. This piece reflects the advanced range of skills typical of the Majiayao culture, known for its distinctive painted pottery, which showcases early innovations both in ceramic form design and decorative motifs in Neolithic China.

Provenance: From a European private collection.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Some old wear, traces of weathering, firing flaws, soil encrustations, minor nicks, surface scratches, tiny pits, and minuscule losses. Repairs and touchups as generally expected from Neolithic excavations.

Weight: 945 g
Dimensions: Height 17.8 cm

With a padded silk box and cover. (2)
