Clay vessel

Small, cylindrical vessel with overhanging rim and domed base. The object has several sculptural applications. Its three massive legs were decorated with a zoomorphic head protome, with dots and notches. The ceramic has been smoothed, slurried, primed and painted on both sides. The primer and paint are partially eroded. There is a restored break at the base of one leg. The object has a red-orange base colour, which is painted white. The outside of the vessel wall and the inner rim are decorated with vertical line bundles. At the base of the rim is a circumferential, applied band that decorates the outside of the object. The conical legs were designed as zoomorphic creatures. After Lothrop 1926: white line ware. (Künne 2004)
