C. 3rd millennium BC. Indus Valley Civilisation. Beautiful terracotta coloured bowl decorated with black concentric circles showing geometric patterns. 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 these kind of ceramic vessels belong, was in the 3rd millennium BC. Large numbers of ceramic vessels decorated with black slip have been found among the sophisticated urban settlements of South Asia's protohistoric Indus Valley civilization. The walls of this jar are so thin that it must have been created on a potter's wheel. Provenance: From an old British collection formed in the 1990s, formerly acquired in the UK and European Art Market.Size: L:115mm / W:310mm ; 1.45kg
