Description

Ca. 3000-2000 BC.A terracotta plate with a wide, but shallow body, resting upon a circular, flat base. The interior features a border of black linear pattern surrounding a central rondel with a bird. The Indus Valley Civilisation was an important Bronze Age culture which arose in c. 3300 BC and lasted until c. 1300, though its heyday, to which this ceramic vessel belongs, was in the 3rd millennium BC. Representations of mortal women are rare in Indus Valley Civilisation Art, indicating that the individual depicted here is probably a goddess. Cf. N. Satyawadi, 1994. Proto-Historic Pottery of the Indus Valley Civilisation: Study of Painted Motifs, New Delhi.Size: L:30mm / W:140mm ; 220gProvenance: Property of a West London gentleman; previously in a collection formed on the UK/International art market in the 1990s.
