Stirrup spout vessel; sitting man with face tattoo

A squatting man with a face tattoo or scarification has his arms hidden under his shirt. All you see are his hands resting on his legs. This motif is a standard motif and manufactured in many different variations. It seems to be a ritual, because the men are in a ritual trance, recognizable by their staring gaze. All wear the same clothes, only the pattern of the shirts is different.
