About
Although hand-built from coils of clay, this large vessel appears evenly potted with an elegant profile. The sides are impressed overall with continuous spiral designs created with a stamp. Similar jars of the Western Zhou period (1045-771 BCE) have been excavated from tombs near Shanghai and farther south in Zhejiang province.
