Object Details
- Description
- A large red/brown burnished vessel, with a long, tubular spout extending out from the upper body. The mouth is rounded, with a thin, upturned rim. The modeled ridges on the midpoint of the spout, and where the spout meets the body, appear to tbe imitating metalwork. Decorated with fine, incised lines/dashes around the upper shoulder and around the stylized "disk" on the vessel body opposite the spout. Fired in an oxidation atmosphere.
- The spout has been broken off where it attaches to the body and some shiny excess adhesive is visible around the join. Considerable white/gray surface deposits/accresions; scattered "root marks" around the exterior. Some small spalls/chips missing from one side of the spout. Overall, in very good condition.
