From the Bronze Age to the Warring States Period, from Korea's Goryeo dynasty to Cambodia's Angkor period, these vessels offer a glimpse into diverse cultures and their sacred practices. The Vessel (po), dating back to 1400-1200 BC, is a testament to the craftsmanship of early civilizations. Its intricate bronze design showcases both functionality and artistic expression. Similarly, the Jar in the Form of an Ancient Bronze Container (lei) from China's Warring States Period exudes elegance with its refined shape. Moving forward in time, we encounter the Lotus-Shaped Altar Bowl Stand from the 18th century. Its unknown creator skillfully crafted this vessel as a symbol of spiritual devotion. The Kundika bottle from Korea's Goryeo dynasty also captures our attention with its delicate beauty. As we delve deeper into history, we discover a Ritual Vessel from Cambodia's Angkor period. Created by an anonymous artisan during the 12th or 13th century, it reflects both religious significance and cultural heritage. Miniature Aryballos vessels further intrigue us with their small size but immense historical value. Dating back to AD 1450-1532, they were used for ceremonial purposes across different regions by various unknown creators. One cannot help but be captivated by offerings made through artistry such as seen in Offering Vessel in the Form of an Alpaca or Ceremonial Vessel (Aryballos). These objects provide insight into rituals performed during AD 1450-1532 and showcase how creativity was intertwined with spirituality.
