Description

A pottery vessel shaped like a bird, with a flaring spout-like head at the left and a strap handle arching from the neck over the back. The shallow oval body has concentric bands and a patterned central panel with darker areas near each end. The vessel stands on a pale surface against a plain backdrop, and the photograph is mounted on a cream card.
