A complete model of a house and farm, with two accessory jars, all made of ceramic. Dating to the Eastern Han Dynasty, it is from Vietnam, which was dominated by the Chinese during that period.
Of the many subtle differences between those found in China and those found in Vietnam, this set typically does not include any animal models. Interestngly, these typically also show a thatched roof only, while in the case of this one the house's roof appears tiled, and includes what appears to be the remnants of a terra cotta coat on top.
One of the jars, the taller of the two, is a thick set stoneware which in style is almost identical to the Dong Son situlae. the other, a fine bodied stoneware, features identification marks to the lid (the only repaired item in the group ... see pics) as well as to the base.
