Neolithic pottery, National Museum of Sudan, Khartoum, Sudan, North-East Africa

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Neolithic pottery, National Museum of Sudan, Khartoum, Sudan, North-East Africa Sudan is one of the first places in the world that pottery appeared (8300 BCE) and around 5000-4000 BCE it was technically superior to that produced in Egypt. The Nubians show a taste for abstract geometric patterns which is also demonstrated in the two figurines (centre) carved in beautiful layered sandstone. The dark veins of the stone were skillfully worked by the artist to give relief to the very stylised forms of the statuettes.
