| Description | This vessel is very light orange in color with a white speckled appearance. It has a direct rim, slightly flaring sides and a tripod base (height of feet is c. 1.7 cm.) The sides are decorated with three (probably molded?) birds - all are different - one looks like a goose. The interior of the bowl has several patches of possible bitumen adhering to it. One of the feet has been sloppily glued back onto the pot. The feet have shaving marks visible on them. The base of one leg is filed off. |
