Chinese Coil Pot

This Chinese coil storage jar was sculpted during China's Neolithic Period, 3rd to 2nd millennium BCE. It originated from Yangshou culture, a heritage known for its prolific and remarkable pottery. The embellishment was painted with black and red slip over brown clay, which is characteristic of Yangshou culture. The design is composed of "swirling curvilinear patterns decorating the upper half of the jar" and "serrations along the edges of the lines".
