This tall pottery granary jar was made some 2,000 years ago during the Han Dynasty (206 BC - AD 220). It is made from a fine-grained grey pottery and quite highly fired, having a distinct ring to it when tapped. In places the smooth surface has a silvery sheen to it. The body is decorated with several groups of raised bands and stands on three feet moulded into the shape of a grotesque human or possibly animalistic face. 

A good size with a height of 29.5 cm (11.5 inches). A fine example in fine condition with no restoration or repair.
