This rare pottery jar was made around 4,000 years ago by peoples of the Neolithic Qijia Culture (c. 2050 - 1700 BC), from what is now eastern Gansu province, China. They produced a variety of pottery vessels including cord-impressed pottery of many shapes and sizes as well as higher-fired jars such as this. This is quite an unusual shape with its wide body and two small loop handles on opposing sides of its constricted neck, and is unusually "heavily-potted".
Height 19.75 cm (7.5 inches). There are repairs to the rim edge that could, no doubt, quite easily be made more presentable.
