From the private collection of the late David Gold, 1990s. David Gold was one of the co founders of the Iconic Lord John brand in Carnaby Street that sparked a style revolution in the swinging sixties dressing The Rolling Stones, The Beatles and The Kinks and were at the heart of 'all things cool'.
The decoration of the vase evokes the 'fish scale style' from Harappa. Images of water creatures were often stylised. In the Harappan Period the fish scale motif was one of the major painted pattern of that culture.
