    Antique Hunter, first of all a big "Welcome" to Antiquers.

    I have a few questions for you --

    Where did you find it/buy it?

    Did you dig it up or was it for sale somewhere?

    What country was it in?

    How big or small is it?
    Measurements of the pot would be helpful. ;)

    First of all, Thanks for the interest and reply to my post

    Well, I found it in the Northren Areas of Pakistan and dig it out.

    It has center external circumference of 11 inches and 2.50 inches in height.

    I hope this will give you an idea to understand this. I am also available for any further question. Kindly help me to understand this pot.

    Regards

    It may be that no one here has the expertise that you require. Some objects require a hands-on appraisal by someone familiar with Pakistani antiques. A museum or university near you may have an expert available who could provide a historical background. Once you have that you should be able to research a possible value.

    Hello @Antique Hunter, and WELCOME to ANTIQUERS!!! What an unusual looking pot!! All I can say is it looks like it has significant age, but I have NO expertise along those lines! @dgbjwc has, I think, given you the best advice on your pot!!! It looks like a wonderful find that I too would want very much to find out about!! Good luck in your research. It's possible others may chime in with some information as well since we are a world-wide site........

    One of the ways to date such an object is to understand and record the context in which it was found. If you "dug it out", you may have already compromised some of the best evidence of its history. You will need to find an archeologist specializing in Pakistani antiquities to compare it with similar examples.
