Description

A tall, narrow pottery object with a flat back, a modelled animal head with projecting horns near the top, and a hole pierced through the top edge. Bands of geometric patterns, including diamonds and lozenges, decorate the upper and middle body, and the curved, trough-shaped base has a crosshatched design inside. The surface is worn, and the object stands on a draped cloth against a pale backdrop.
