Description

Small, circular ceramic pot, orange in colour, standing on three legs. The pot has a slightly flared rim that leads to a somewhat bulbous body. Two small round handles protrude on each side. On the front of the pot’s body is the face of an animal, with a protruding snout showing mouth and nostrils and two eyes coloured with white pigment. On the back is a protruding conical tail, flanked on each side by four small impressions coloured with white pigment. The bowl’s legs are shaped like inverted cones. The interior of the pot is smooth with a dark carved line encircling just below the rim.
