Indian Chandraketugarh Pottery Jar Dancing Females TL'd

Item Details

Description

India, Chandraketugarh, Period III, Shunga (Sunga) Period, ca. 185 BCE to 50 CE. An incredibly rare find from a little-known area, this is an example of fine gray pottery with an extensive stamped design. This is a delicate thin-walled vessel, with a wide slightly raised foot, flaring rim and bulbous body decorated with repeating scene of dancing females with an occasional interspersed male on the lower register and females riding what appears to be a variant of a hippocamp on the top register. Size: 7" W x 7.125" H (17.8 cm x 18.1 cm)

Chandraketugarh, located northeast of modern-day Kolkata, was a large fortified settlement with high ramparts and wooden housing on both sides of the fortifications. Period III was the most prosperous period, when the level of pottery production seems to have been the finest - as well as the most influenced by contact with the Romans (or at least, their trade goods). Beginning in this period and continuing to ca. 650 CE, their pottery was bright, with intricate designs created by painting, stamping, incisions, molding, and appliqueing. Vases like this one were not handmade - they were made by specialists in an urban economy and were made for an urban, elite or at least middle-class clientele. The quality of this vase speaks to Chandraketugarh's place along the Indian Ocean trade routes and its cosmopolitan culture.

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