A LARGE PAINTED TWO-HANDLED POTTERY JAR, NEOLITHIC PERIOD

Scientific Analysis Report: A thermoluminescence analysis report issued by QED Laboratoire, Marseille, on 15 January 2024, reference no. QED2402/FC-0107, sets the firing date of the sample between 3600 and 4600 years ago, consistent with the dating above. A copy of the report accompanies this lot.

China, Majiayao culture, 3rd-2nd millennium BC. The compressed globular jar tapering towards the foot, surmounted by a cylindrical neck with everted rim, flanked by two loop handles, the shoulders and neck painted in black and red with medallions filled with a hatched design above a wave border.

Provenance: French private collection. A copy of a signed expertise and appraisal by Bernard Le Gall, Galerie Arts et Civilisations, Quimper, France, dated 10 January 2013, confirming the dating above, and stating the value of the present lot as EUR 3,500 or approx. EUR 4,200 (adjusted for inflation at the time of writing), accompanies this lot.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Some old wear, traces of weathering and aging, firing flaws, soil encrustations, minor nicks, surface scratches, pits, and minuscule losses. One dimple to the side. Repairs and touchups as generally expected from Neolithic excavations.

Weight: 4,321 g
Dimensions: Height 41 cm

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.
