Clay vessel

Three-footed, round-bottomed jug with a deep rim. The object has a high, retracting wall with a flowing neck and overhanging rim. Sculptural appliqués and incised decorations appear on the body, which were filled with white paint. The three hollow, conical feet are decorated with anthropomorphic faces. They have a narrow opening and rattle balls. The object has been smoothed, sanded and primed on both sides. The outside has been scratched, painted and highly polished. The primer is partially eroded. The restored object has many broken and missing parts. Three-footed, round-bottomed jug with a deep rim.
