Description

A pottery bowl with a spout shaped like an animal's head at the right and loop handles arching over its top. A small modelled animal crouches on the rim at the left, and a dotted snake is painted across the interior. Bands of stripes run around the rim and outer wall, and the vessel stands on a plain pale background with some cracks in its surface.
