Product description
Han dynasty, Han dynasty grain container (China, ± 200 BC - 200 AD).
These jars were often used as grave goods and had a symbolic or ritual function.
The green-gray oxidation is typical of lead-glazed ware from that period.
◦ These objects were often found in graves.
◦ They were symbolic models of domestic objects (such as furnaces, silos or towers).
◦ The ribbed structure on the "roof" often represents roof tiles.
◦ The opening at the top may symbolize air circulation or symbolic access to contents.
From the condition of the glaze, it can be seen that this preliminary work has been underground for a very long time.
No hidden cracks, just a chip from the top.
Height 25 cm. diameter 20 cm.
