Light brown-yellow clay bottle, mottled with orange. Pot takes the shape of a man with one leg kneeling, the other bent and supporting his elbow. His hands grip a tool or instrument held on an angle against his torso. Face has a protruding nose, smiling mouth, and rounded chin. Figure wears a cloak with hood, his head topped by a feline-like figure whose head and shoulders extend over the man’s forehead. At back, the bottle’s tubular handle arcs between the head and shoulder, with a spout emerging from the top. Handle is brown-red in colour.
