Description
English: Water Jar
  • Yangshao Culture
  • Neolithic Period (ca. 5000 - 3000 B.C.)
  • Excavated at Baoji, Shaanxi Province, 1958
Ropes of clay were used to build this vessel, then were smoothed out and decorated. It was used to draw water from wells and rivers, lowered on ropes threaded through its handles; when empty its center of gravity would cause it to tip forward, and when full it would return to its upright position.
