Description

Small ceramic pot (part a) and stand (part b). Pot has a straight, slightly angled neck, decorated with faint encircling lines emphasized with orange pigment. The shoulder protrudes and attached to it are three prominent conical feet, two of which are partially broken and show a hollow space inside. The third is whole and has two small vertical holes bored into either side. Between two of the feet, also on the shoulder, is an animal head(?) with incised lines for teeth and bulges above for eyes. Pot has a rounded bottom. The stand is vertically tubular, open at both ends, and flares widely at the rims. The bottom rim is decorated by several small protuberances, unevenly spaced. The pot’s bottom fits into the flare of the stand’s top rim.
