Southeast Asia, Khmer Empire (Angkor culture), c. 12th century AD A charming ceramic lime pot in the shape of a particularly round turtle
Part of larger Swedish
collection.

It is a pure museum piece. Purchased in the 60s in the area around Nakhon Thom Ankor Wat.

By the early 1000s, much of Thailand had been consolidated under Khmer rule (802–1437 CE). A highway linking the Khorat Plateau—site of Ban Chiang ceramic production, an example of which is in the case at far left—to Angkor (in present-day Cambodia) increased regional trade and the distribution of distinctive chocolate-glazed ceramics in animal forms. Khmer royal processions. Such a ceramic container likely stored lime, an ingredient used in the preparation of betel, a mild stimulant popular throughout Southeast Asia.
