Ancient Indus Valley 'Elliptical' Pot
Clay, 515 grams; 139.73 x 112.14 mm. Circa mid-3rd millenium BC. A beautifully preserved Indus pot; elliptically shaped with flat base and high sides detailed with a ribbed pattern and slightly flared lip. The whole surface of the pot is covered in sand incretion which has helped preserve it but this can be removed to reveal the red surface. An excellent example in extremely fine condition.
