Item Details

Description

Ancient Central Asia, Indus Valley, Harappan/Mohenjo-Daro Civilization, ca. 2700 to 2000 BCE. A wheel-thrown pottery vessel depicting a pair of abstract large felines on the body, perhaps representing leopards or panthers. Each elongated feline creature has clawed feet, large eyes atop the ovoid heads, and lattice-pattern motifs indicative of spots across the bodies. The creatures prowl amongst broad foliage atop concentric stripes once filled with red pigment. The circular vessel has a flared rim and tapered walls that rest upon a broad disc foot. Size: 5.25" W x 5.3" H (13.3 cm x 13.5 cm)

This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full printed and bound report is available for $50 to the buyer. Please contact us to request.
