Description:
|
The form and the surface decorations of this vessel are very elaborate. The artisan created a teardrop-shaped vessel with a pedestal foot and three equally spaced sunken roundels in the body. He painted the vessel with a cream slip upon which he drew a band of glyphs around the mouth and a stylized profile heads in each roundel with alternating vertical glyphs in a column.
