Terracotta Vase Decorated with Black Lines Circa 700.

Bowl with Revolving Scrolls late 12th century This vessel was likely molded, then pierced with tiny holes, incised with a sequence of revolving scrolls and a plaited band, then painted and glazed. By covering the holes, the glaze creates a light-through effect. While the shape and the technique speak of a shared aesthetic with Iranian ceramics of the same period, this vessel represents a distinct development attested in 12th-century Afghanistan. The bowl came to the Museum only in 1998 as a gift from the Mansour Gallery. It allegedly came from Bamiyan in present-day Afghanistan which has important archaeological sites dating back to the 4th-9th centuries when the town was a key Buddhist site up to the 12th century..

The lack of figural decoration suggests that, rather than hold wine, it may have contained cold water or snow to chill a wine-filled psykter (vase for cooling wine).

Hydria (Water Jar) 450 BCE . This hydria, or water jar, depicts three fully clothed and wreathed women quietly engaged in feminine activities. The subject on the left examines her face in a mirror, the central figure holds a chest, which may contain such personal effects as jewelry and cosmetics, and the woman on the right holds a large, lobed fruit.The shape of this water jar is called a kalpis. The body and neck were raised on the potterís wheel as a single piece. Large areas of the vase misfired, resulting in greenish discoloration. The back, sides, and two handles have been repainted in modern times to mask the blemish, which is visible below the figural scene.A single artist, today known as the Chicago Painter, decorated this vase. He takes his name from a larger vessel, 1889.22a-b, acquired by the Art Institute in 1889, which was the first example of his work to be identified.
