Description

A ring-shaped pottery base with painted geometric bands around its outer wall supports two animal heads with long curved horns, two painted jugs with rounded bodies and a round central vessel. An arched handle or spout links the parts across the top. The surface is worn and chipped in places, and the piece stands on a plain grey backdrop.
