Ancient Japanese Jomon Pottery Jar, TL Tested

Item Details

Description

Ancient East Asia, Japan, Late Jomon Period, ca. 2000 to 1500 BCE. A hand-built pottery vessel of a tall, sizable form with a flat base, a cylindrical body, and a flared shoulder. The body is adorned with curvilinear relief bands that form abstract, tendril-form motifs, and the surrounding areas exhibit a softened cord-pressed pattern; hence the term "jomon" which translates to "cord pattern." The bulky shoulder is decorated with similar tendrils and corded patterns as well as a quartet of projecting flanges with thick rims and recessed frontal panels. Additional zigzags and linear motifs are incised within some of the shoulder panels to create a wondrous presentation that is sure to accentuate any discerning collection. Size: 15" W x 19.2" H (38.1 cm x 48.8 cm)

The ancient Japanese Jomon Period is known for its distinctive pottery tradition that set it apart from the Paleolithic Age. Jomon pottery vessels are among the oldest in the world and typically present rope- or cord-like impressed decoration. Since no kilns have been excavated from the Jomon period, it is believed that the ancients fired these vessels in open fires.

According to the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Heilbrunn Timeline essay, "All Jomon pots were made by hand, without the aid of a wheel, the potter building up the vessel from the bottom with coil upon coil of soft clay. As in all other Neolithic cultures, women produced these early potteries. The clay was mixed with a variety of adhesive materials, including mica, lead, fibers, and crushed shells. After the vessel was formed, tools were employed to smooth both the outer and interior surfaces. When completely dry, it was fired in an outdoor bonfire at a temperature of no more than about 900° C."

This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full report will accompany purchase.

This piece has been searched against the Art Loss Register database and has been cleared. The Art Loss Register maintains the world's largest database of stolen art, collectibles, and antiques.
