Bidspirit auction | Neolithic Chinese Tapered Ceramic Water

Neolithic Chinese Tapered Ceramic Water Flask - Neolithic Chinese ceramic water flask of a tapered or conical form. With two applied handles along the body. This style of flask was a classic shape in the Banpo phase in the Yangshao culture. The flasks were suspended in water via cords tied around the neck and the two loop handles. The flasks would fill as the center of gravity shifted in the uniquely-shaped vessel. Height: 11 in x diameter: 6 in. Condition: There are no major visible cracks, losses, or restorations. Light wear along the exterior including some calcification throughout, as expected with age. Dust and debris gathered along the interior.
