Consider the following statements regarding prehistoric Chalcolithic pottery styles in Western India:
1. Malwa pottery is characterized by a thick pale red or orange slip decorated with rich dark-brown painted designs and has a non-vitreous dull fabric.
2. Jorwe pottery is distinct for its fine-fabric, well-fired metallic ring and a matte red surface painted with crisp geometric patterns in black.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Question

Accepted Answer

Both statements are accurate ceramic indices. Malwa ware is visually spectacular with creative animal shapes but is fired at lower temperatures. Jorwe ware, representing a later evolutionary stage, uses highly refined clay fired uniformly at high temperatures, creating a durable wheel-made metallic resonance.
