Vase
Moulded red-brown earthenware vase with textured surface, geometric relief decoration and applied shapes, partly painted in enamels; not glazed.
Vase in the form of an abstracted head with a circular opening and deep hollow interior, on a neck and base in the form of shoulders. A bolt like shape is attached on either side of the head and a triangle shape to one side of the neck. The facial features and a number of geometric shapes on the shoulders and upper body are defined by relief and incision and picked out in dull earth colours. The back is combed, perhaps in imiataion of wood grain. The rim is outlined in black. The underside is partly hollow, the rest painted in black.
