Clay vessel

This three-part vessel shows the body of a woman. The upper part forms the flat head with face and ears, the centre part the torso and the largest lower part the lower body. The woman is depicted squatting with her legs bent backwards. The rest of the broken handle can be seen at the back of the head and the hole where the spout was located on the lower body. The head, sides and back of the vessel are painted. The drawing on the cheeks as well as on the back and the back of the head depicts an open pharynx. (A. Nicklisch 2003)
