- Description
-
A large, zoomorphic vessel with two spouts modeled in the shape of animal necks and heads, with little ears pointing upward and an applique disk in between them. Hand-built of orange/brown earthenware with modeled details, the surface is smooth and burnished. The neck is high and tubular, with a single rounded handle extending from the neck to the egg-shaped body. There is incised decoration on the back of the handle (like a tail). The vessel is supported by three conical, tapering feet, two in front and one in back.
Scattered wear, abrasions and loss of surface all along the rim. Deeper losses have been filled with a tinted plaster/putty. Other scattered wear/abrasions across the surface, from use or burial. Heavy dirt/deposits, some scattered spotty staining, firing flaws. Overall, in very good condition.
