Description:
|
Because of the large and depressed shape of its belly, this vessel appears to have a small mouth. The decoration consists of two simple lines around its neck, and shallow carvings that cover the shoulder and belly. The shoulder has a one-eyed animal motif, the belly is covered with T-hooks with a thunder pattern, the ring foot has cloud patterns, and the handles on two sides of the belly are animal heads with horns. On the whole the vessel displays a simple and honest beauty.
