Description

A close photograph of a tall, bulbous vessel with a narrow neck, filling the frame. A winged figure with curly hair sits in profile on the body, one arm extended and the other holding a long curling stem. Below the figure are spiral and palmette-like ornaments and a band of decoration near the base, and the vessel shows cracks and repaired joins.
