Description
Circular ceramic dish with three legs that is orange and grey in colour. The body of the dish is carved with linear designs near the rim and has a rounded base. On the front of the body at the rim is the small, protruding, triangular head of an animal that has a wide mouth, nostrils and wide-set eyes. At the back is a wide tail decorated with angled lines and round indentations. Two small fins protrude from the pot at either side of the head, and are incised with lines. The legs of the pot are cone shaped and tall with round indentations and angled lines as decoration. The legs are partially hollow with vertical incisions, and two of the three contain a small clay bead that rattles when the dish is moved. The interior of the dish is smooth and undecorated, and contains a yellow residue over most of the surface.
