Description

Terracotta tripod dish with a slightly flared rim and concave outer sides on a relatively deep, flat-bottomed body. The exterior of the dish is painted with a series of black lines and light brown and orange blocks of colour. The bottom is not painted. On the inside wall are interspersing red and light brown designs as well as encircling lines of colour. The interior bottom is painted with lines and curls surrounding a central light coloured figure. The dish has three large legs in the shape of human-like faces. The eyes, brows, and nose protrude and are emphasized with black paint. The ears also protrude. The mouths are at the bottom, open, and with the chin supporting the weight of the pot. Each leg is hollow and contains a clay rattle-ball.
