Cumulative facts and circumstances

Explain why the object fits the exception set forth above

Provenance for this object is established to at least 1995, in Denver CO. Neolithic pots are very important to study the origin of the Chinese painted pottery, and the connections between prehistoric China and Central Asia. Between 5000-6000 years old, this is among the earliest pieces in our Chinese collection, and will be significant additions to our small existing collection of similar pottery. Similar objects have been excavated in northwest China since as early as the 1920s, the first by a Swedish archaeologist J. G. Anderson. Its acquisition by the Denver Art Museum facilitates research by scholars, as well as public enjoyment and understanding of China's Neolithic age.
