拍品描述

3rd-2nd millennium B.C. With a sloping sidewall, flat shoulder and everted rim to the broad mouth; painted geometric bands and zoomorphic panels on the side and shoulder. See Satyawadi, S., Proto-Historic Pottery of Indus Valley Civilisation: Study of Painted Motifs, Perspectives in Indian Art and Archaeology, vol.2, New Delhi, 1994, colour illustration no.4, for the type of vessel. 376 grams, 12 cm wide (4 3/4 in.). [No Reserve] From the private collection of the late David Gold, 1990s. David Gold was one of the co founders of the Iconic Lord John brand in Carnaby Street that sparked a style revolution in the swinging sixties dressing The Rolling Stones, The Beatles and The Kinks and were at the heart of 'all things cool'. Similar bowls were found at Nal, appearing to be canister-like vessels with circular openings. As here, it is a buff ware with traces of blue and red patterns, and repeated geometrical design, here enriched with the image of a wild beast.
