- Description
-
A large red/brown burnished vessel, with a long, tubular spout extending out from the upper body. The mouth is rounded, with a thin, upturned rim. The modeled ridges on the midpoint of the spout, and where the spout meets the body, appear to tbe imitating metalwork. Decorated with fine, incised lines/dashes around the upper shoulder and around the stylized "disk" on the vessel body opposite the spout. Fired in an oxidation atmosphere.
The spout has been broken off where it attaches to the body and some shiny excess adhesive is visible around the join. Considerable white/gray surface deposits/accresions; scattered "root marks" around the exterior. Some small spalls/chips missing from one side of the spout. Overall, in very good condition.
