Hu-shaped vessel, China, Han Dynasty, 2nd century BC - 3rd century AD.

Descriptio Decorated terracotta. Dimensions: Height 45 cm x Diameter 20 cm. Hu-shaped vessel with a large, globular body and a tall, slightly flared neck, resting on a narrow base that emphasizes its verticality. The surface is decorated with geometric motifs and scrolls painted in ochre-brown and red tones, arranged in horizontal registers that run along the neck and body, creating a balanced visual rhythm. The paintwork exhibits chromatic variations and areas of wear that attest to the piece’s age and the decorative technique applied to the terracotta. The understated modeling and schematic ornamentation are characteristic of Chinese ceramic production from the Han Dynasty, a period marked by the synthesis of functionality, symbolism, and a refined aesthetic, giving the piece a solid presence representative of its tradition.
