Funerary model of a well head
Chinese
Jar like container with flared mouth, wide, compressed body on a flat base, circular openings below the rim, and high-relief geometric decoration perhaps simulating rope; buff stoneware with yellow green glaze over applique molded and incised decoration. Excavated funerary models of water wells resembling the structure and decoration of this piece indicate it was likely a representation of a well head to furnish a tomb.
Stoneware with yellow-green celadon glaze
Han dynasty, Eastern Han period, 25-220 CE
