Clay can
The vessels described by Caecilie Seler as melon jugs are more likely to be gourds. With their bulbous shape, raised spout and ribbon-shaped handle, they resemble European teapots. The present piece, with its deep and regular indentations, is a particularly naturalistic example from this group. It is made of white clay and shows no traces of painting. (A. Nicklisch 2003)
