INDUS VALLEY KULLI BICHROME JAR WITH CAPRID AND GEOMETRIC MOTIF. Ca. 2500 - 2000 BC. A terracotta jar with a slender, elongated body tapering towards a slightly concave base. The neck leads to a wide, slightly outward-curving rim with a dark-painted edge. The upper section is encircled by a band of stylised leaf motifs arranged in a repetitive sequence, framed by parallel lines above and below. A decorative frieze beneath this band presents a continuous row of small circular elements enclosed within linear borders. The main register features two caprids with elongated necks and distinctive backward-sweeping horns standing with their backs to a stylised peepal tree that extends vertically, with symmetrical branches bearing triangular leaves and additional dotted detailing. Closely spaced curvilinear lines follow the contours of the animals' backs, while other elements and symbols surround them. The lower section is bordered by parallel horizontal bands interspersed with rows of circular motifs.
