124B: An Ancient Chinese Han Dyansty Model of a Well
China, from the Eastern Han Dynasty 206 - 220 BC. The dark green lead glaze is partially covered by a fine, pearlized iridescence. An A-frame superstructure is mounted on the flat ledge with the pulley housing on top, clearly showing the pulley inside. The interior of the well is unglazed except for the green glaze vertical dripping, which the artist applied intentionally for visual effect.
