Clay jar with red-fired decoration, from Ban Chiang, north-eastern Thailand, 1st millennium BC. Neolithic cultures based on agriculture and the use of stone tools appeared throughout mainland South-east Asia between 4000 BC and 1000 BC. Bronze technology became widespread in the northern part during the second millennium BC and iron after 500 BC. Elaborately decorated pots such as this one were produced in the first millennium BC. A great variety of decorative motifs feature on this pottery including the red spiral patterns that densely cover the surface of this pot. These are similar to those found on contemporary pottery in southern China.
OA, 1974.6-17.1.
