Large South East Asian Ban Chiang Period Painted Vessel
Middle Period, 900-300 B.C.Sold for (Inc. bp): £247
Globular jar with large flared mouth and carinated shoulder, decorated with dense series of painted spiral and other motifs. 5.1 kg, 43 cm high
From a collection acquired on the UK art market from various auction houses and collections mostly before 2000. From an important Cambridgeshire estate; thence by descent.
One of the most interesting characteristics of this pottery are the spiral designs. Spiral designs occur on vessels with and without pedestals (like our specimen). In most cases the spirals fill the entire decoration field of the body. All spiral motifs appear to have been carefully planned before being painted. They cover the portion of the vessel normally visible to the observer, and not attempt is made to carry the design of the bottom of the vase. -
