VesselSf624

A coarse, black ware pot with a short, central spout with lip. The vessel is a simplified fish form with tail, dorsal and two pairs of lateral fins. A seam joins the two halves of this flattish pot together and obscures some of the detail of the teeth and lip band. The textural details of the face and fins appear to be made in the mold.

VesselSf623

A black stirrup spout vessel in the form of a prawn or lobster with overlapping skeletal plates along its back, a pair of front clawed appendages and five pairs of lateral ones. A small monkey is attached at the base of the spout. A lengthwise seam joining the two symmetrical halves of the pot is clearly visible on the inside through breaks in the stirrup-spout. The stirrup is broken off the vessel and part of the spout is missing. Some gluing and restoration materials are in evidence.
