Siwa culture flourished in southeast Gansu during the Bronze Age. Pottery jars featuring saddle-shaped mouths, such as the present example and lot 827 from the same collection, belong to a classic pottery type of this civilisation. The characteristic variegated tones of the orange slip-applied surfaces resulting from inconsistencies in temperature during firing make each vessel a unique work of art.
