Clay can

The jug also belongs to the group of so-called melon jugs and has the typical ribbon-shaped handle. The spout forms the feet at the lower end. The front of the jug features a sculpted human face with half-closed eyes. There is a red spot on each cheek and the mouth is also framed by a red line. Almost the entire surface is covered in red and black paint (A. NIcklisch 2003)
