Large bulbous vase. with neck featuring perforations, possibly indicating suspension? Some red pigment visible on the surface of the vessel, though much has since worn away. This is one of a number of objects that have previously been catalogued under a single entry: 'E.172.1903'. The collection of items all appear to derive from funerary models, and are each elements found within individual scenes, but they are not from the same model, and possibly do not derive from a single site.
