Description

Bulbous terracotta pot with flattened applique figure. The large pot has a flared, uneven rim, narrowing toward the mouth, and flaring again below the neck. The midpoint is bulbous and wider than the top half, curving inward toward a rounded bottom. The only decoration is a bas relief figure of a creature with a human like head that protrudes from the shoulder of the pot, with protruding legs and feet and slightly outset hands. The creature’s large round wings are carved into the pot on either side. The figure is coloured a light brown while the rest of the pot is a burnished dark red-orange.
