Description

A pottery vessel shaped like a bird, with a spout-like neck rising to the left and a crested head with a beak-like form rising to the right. A loop handle arches over the body, and three short legs support it on a plain surface. The pale body carries dark painted bands, hatching and cross-hatched panels, with some paint worn away.
