Description
Help us help those in need this holiday season! Artemis Gallery is donating 100% of the Buyer’s Premium from all lots sold in this auction to COMMUNITY FOOD SHARE. Each $1.00 donated = 3 meals!

East Asia, China, Neolithic Period, Majiayao culture, ca. 3300 to 2000 BCE. A hand-built pottery jar with a flat base, an apple-shaped body, a squat rim with a flared lip, and a pair of loop handles. The beige-slipped vessel displays a red-painted, lattice-pattern register around the body that is enclosed with solid bars enclosing the top and bottom, and additional swaths of solid pigment envelop the rim and neck. The Majiayao culture was comprised of a group of Neolithic communities who lived primarily in the upper Yellow River region in eastern Gansu, eastern Qinghai, and northern Sichuan, China. The Majiayao culture represents the first time that the Upper Yellow River region was widely occupied by agricultural communities, and it is famous for its painted pottery. Size: 6.7" W x 5" H (17 cm x 12.7 cm)

Provenance: ex-private Davis collection, Houston, Texas, acquired before 2013 from various auction houses in London, UK and New York, USA
