This type of black earthenware amphora was produced from the Warring States period and throughout the Han dynasty. The surface of the vessel has been shaped with tools and then burnished. This process of manufacture gives the jar its attractively rugged, yet carefully detailed and distinctive characteristics. The surface of the body is an amalgamation of complex curves with various convex and concave shapes. As noted by Regina Krahl in Yuegutang, A Collection of Chinese Ceramics in Berlin, 2000, page 55, amphorae of this distinct type are characteristic products of the Western Sichuan province where they were made by non-Chinese peoples. Hence, this type of vessel is known as Lifan, named after the area of Sichuan province in the far west of China, in which such jars have been found.

Literature comparison:
Compare a closely related amphora, 206 BC-220 AD, 14.6 x 15.9 cm, in the Honolulu Museum of Art, object number 1023.1.
