Ca. 3000-2000 BC. A terracotta bowl characterized by its gradual rise from a flat, circular base to a slightly inward-turned rim. The interior of the bowl is adorned with a central swastika motif that is enclosed within a framed circle decoration. This motif has been interpreted in a variety of ways, including as a symbol of good fortune and prosperity, and as a representation of the sun or other celestial bodies. The upper portion of the bowl is further decorated with a striking snake motif, featuring a spiraling body with accentuated scales, and a head with large eyes and a tongue out. The snake was a common motif in ancient Indus Valley art and is believed to have had a range of symbolic meanings, including as a symbol of regeneration and rebirth, as well as a representation of power and fertility. Pottery bowls such as this were an important part of everyday life in the Indus Valley civilization, serving a range of practical and ceremonial functions. They were used for cooking, serving food and drink, and for the storage of grain and other commodities. Pottery was also an important medium for artistic expression and cultural identity, with pottery vessels serving as important markers of regional styles and traditions.Size: L:120mm / W:295mm ; 1.16kgProvenance: From the private collection of an Essex gentleman; previously in an old British Collection, formed in the 1990s.
Late Shang Dynasty, ca. 11th century BC. The body is slightly tapering, formed in a deep rectangular body which has been raised on four columnar supports, each delicately cast in high relief at the top with a taotie mask with sternly depicted ears which are ever watching. The body is cast in high relief on each side with a band of decoration motifs with what appear to be kui dragons. The everted rim is set with a pair of inverted U-shaped handles. The bronze has a milky green patinated surface with malachite and cuprite encrustation. The Fangding was considered to be the most highly regarded of all Chinese bronze ritual vessels, used as a cauldron standing on four raised supports, traditionally used for cooking and storing of ritual offerings to ancestors, these were place on the family altar for worship in order to gain positive favour and continuation against evil.

Late-Early Western Zhou Dynasty, ca. 12th-11th century BC. The body is bulbous in form raised with three column-like supports and cast with raised relief on the upper section of the body with a register of kui dragons, with stylised elongated bodies confronted on and separated by two flanges, decorated with a series of rounded boss like motifs with central dotted circle with almost swirl like surround, held by a U-shaped handle rising from the rim. These forms of powerful bronze ritual vessels were a highly prized possession of important members of Chinese society, used on an altar to disband rites to their ancestors to gain favour and positive luck away from evil. Bronze vessels referred to as ding vessels were used as cooking pots, reserved for offerings of food to ancestors. The ruler controlled the supply of copper and tin, thus showing this object was made for someone of high social status within society. For similar see: The Metropolitan Museum of Fine Art: 43.27.2.
