Description

A squat, round-bodied vessel with a tall vertical loop handle rising from its shoulder to a wide, dark neck opening that faces the camera. Painted figures in light and dotted lines decorate the dark body: a winged or feathered form on the left and a creature with a large round eye on the right. The object sits on a pale surface, and the print is mounted on a card with a handwritten label along the bottom edge.
