Large Chinese Han Dynasty Pottery Jar w/ Taotie Masks

Item Details

Description

East Asia, China, Han Dynasty, ca. 206 BCE to 220 CE. A sizable, wheel-thrown pottery jar exhibiting a tall, piriform body atop a protruding foot. The vessel features 2 registers of impressed grooves surrounding the upper body and midsection, each with remains of applied white and red pigment. Protruding out from the midsection are 2 stylized taotie masks meant to depict the mythological creature with a ferocious appetite. The corseted neck tapers upwards before flaring back out to form the rim, and within the body is a deep basin meant to hold a large volume of foodstuffs, wine, or perhaps even human remains. Size: 14.3" Diameter x 17.625" H (36.3 cm x 44.8 cm)
