Description

Painted terracotta footed pot. The body is tall and egg shaped, with a somewhat rough rim around a narrow mouth. It is painted with the image of a feathered serpent, with flowing lines, dots and patterns coloured in orange and brown and has a cream slip. The pot has a prominent foot that flares downward and is decorated with encircling lines of brown and orange. The bottom of the pot inside the foot is very round, as if continuing the egg shape of the body. The interior of the pot is undecorated.
