Peter Reynaers

A fine terracotta jar from the Indus Valley. The rim is everted outwards and is complimented with a short, narrow neck. The base is perfectly rounded, whilst its body is decorated with circular shapes, rendered in dark pigmentation. A chip to the rim. 

The Indus Valley Civilisation extended from what today is northeast Afghanistan to Pakistan and north-west India. It was one of three early and widespread cradles of civilisation along with Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. At its peak, the Indus Valley Civilisation, which included such sites as Harappa and Mohenjo-daro, may have had a population of over five million, who developed new techniques in pottery, seal carving, and metallurgy.

Measurements: Circa H 12cm x W 9.5cm

Provenance: Formerly from a collection of a deceased Japanese gentleman 1990s.
