Description: A Chinese Neolithic Pottery Jar This is a ritual vessel type found in both pottery and bronze forms, names “Jia”; it was used to cook at the beginning but hold libations of wine for the veneration of ancestors later in Bronze Period. It was made either with four legs or in the form of a tripod and included two pillar-like protrusions on the rim that were possibly used to suspend the vessel over heat. The earliest evidence of the Jia vessel type appears during the Neolithic Period. It was a prominent form during the Shang and early Western Zhou Dynasties but had disappeared by the Mid-Western Zhou Dynasty. 中国新石器时代(公元前3000年)三足象皮纹陶斝 斝(jia,三声)是一种以陶器和青铜形式出现的仪式器皿。它最初是用做煮食,但是在青铜时代后期,成为人们为纪念祖先而使用的酒器。它通常由四脚或三脚的形式制成,并且在轮缘上有两个柱状突起,便于使容器置于在热源下。斝出现于新石器时代,是商代和西周早期一种主要的生活器皿形式,但到西周中期逐渐消失。 这款灰色陶器上装饰大象皮纹,具有典型的新石器时带特征。 H330mm
