Cernuschi Museum, Asia Museum of Asia in the city of Paris.Jug ca. 1050-800 B.C. Iran This large pitcher has a biconical body with a flat base and a high neck. The two conical halves of the pitcher form a sharp ridge where the meet at the middle of the body. A thick handle connects the rim to the body; opposite it a pointed spout rises from the pitchers shoulder. The spout is attached to the rim by a small bridge, and both the bridge and the handle have raised lumps, perhaps in imitation of metal rivers, where they join the rim. Five incised lines decorate the upper part of the body. The pitcher is made of burnished grey clay. It was made on a potters wheel in two pieces, with the spout and handle added later.This pitcher closely resembles examples excavated at Hasanlu a large settlement site in northwestern Iran, and this pitcher probably comes from this same region. During the Iron Age Hasanlu was one of the largest and most powerful towns in Iran, and probably controlled much of the Ushnu-Solduz valley until its destruction ca. 800 B.C. bGlass amphoriskos with band of scrolls 1st century A.D.

Its missing knob most likely had the shape of a lotus bud. Beautifully carved lotus petals cover the vessels shoulder and lid under a translucent green glaze. In Buddhism, the lotus is a flower symbolizing purity and detachment from worldly affairs; its presence suggests that this vessel was meant to be used in a religious context. The well-crafted double loop handles may have held a silk cloth or other textile that would have been folded over the lid to keep it in place.

Pottery existed for thousands of years in Japan before the Yayoi period, but the development of wet rice agriculture and permanent settlements by previously nomadic communities changed its form significantly. Yayoi period pots were aimed more at long-term storage than those from prior millennia. Their smooth, unadorned surfaces and round shapes also reflect the style of contemporaneous works from the Korean peninsula, indicating the strong ties between Japanese communities and Korean kingdoms at the time.Terracotta trefoil oinochoe (jug) ca. 550 B.C.
