Ancient Central Asia, ca. late 2nd to early 1st millennium BCE. A gorgeous hand-built pottery jar decorated with dark-brown pigment atop a cream-slipped ground. The acorn-shaped vessel has a round, drop-form body atop a tapering conical base, a sloping shoulder with a corseted neck, and a flared rim with a thick lip. The interior of the rim is lined with several small dots, and the neck is decorated with concentric ladder-form bands. Five intricately-detailed acanthus leaves that surround the shoulder and lower body enclose several small crosses above a wide checkerboard-patterned strip. The entire composition is coated in a colorless glaze which has preserved the original coloration beneath.
