Description

Ca. 3rd Millennium BC A tall monochrome painted vessel that sits on a flat circular base and rises to a tall, double balustered body, finished with a wide mouth with a sloped rim. The exterior surface is painted in dark brown pigment on a tan ground. The decoration is divided into two main horizontal registers separated by a repetitive set of four circumferential bands spaced with a motif of a coiled snake and ibexes standing in a row. The upper register depicts a large fish while the lower part depicts a peepal tree and zebu bulls surrounded by abstract shapes.This piece has been precisely dated by means of a Thermo Luminescence analysis carried out by Oxford Authentication. The samples collected date the piece to the period reflected in its style, whilst also showing no modern trace elements. The TL certificate with its full report will accompany this lot.Size: L:465mm / W:185mm ; 4.30kgProvenance: From the collection of a London gentleman; formerly acquired in early 2000s in France; previously in 1970s European collection.
