Cross-Cultural Infusion on Product Form-A Study of Changsha Pottery vis-a-vis Indian Pottery & Metalware Along the Silk Trade Route
The exchange of goods and materials by way of trading and exchanges were common in ancient times between India and China via silk route and other trading routes.The movement of people from one place to another brought exchange of not only materials but also techniques and processes and helped to establish their own manufacturing facilities and craftsmanship.This has resulted into a cross-cultural influence over the craft forms as reflected in many resemblances of material culture, annotations and apologies seen in various forms and shapes in multiple domains such as ceramic pottery, glazed pottery, metalware, ship buildings, printing,silk and other fabrics, patterns and motifs etc.Observations of ancient remains from Belitung and artifacts from Indian cities along secondary and tertiary silk routes, show significant influence in the similarities in techniques, materials, surface treatments, kiln processes, colors, motifs, etc.This paper examines a cross-cultural resemblance of product form factor between Changsha pottery and pots to ceramic ware from eastern parts and metalware from western regions of India like Gujarat and Rajasthan.The spread of Buddhism from India to China and other eastern and south eastern countries during this period must also form a strong reason for this cultural exchange.
