Description

Terracotta painted trileg pot with animals. The round pot is somewhat squat and bulbous, with a concave neck and slightly flared rim. At the back, a rounded, open handle is attached at rim and shoulder. Opposite is a small creature emerging from the pot’s neck, with a large head and snout, curving arms, and large feet. On each side of the pot at the shoulder is a small head, similar to that of the creature on the front. The pot sits on three conical legs, each with grooves carved through to a hollow centre. The pot is decorated with a series of criss-crossing lines on the body, and diagonal lines on the interior of the neck, in a light orange colour.
