About

Indonesian medicine jar from Batak culture. Antique Chinese ceramic bottle with hand-painted dragon is completed with crochet bends and handles, and a wood carved lid.

The Batak people in Indonesia adopted the use of Chinese bottles and pottery for medicine jars as a result of historical trade and cultural interactions between the Batak region and China. Chinese ceramics, renowned for their exceptional craftsmanship and long-lasting quality, became highly prized by the Batak community for storing medicinal substances.
