Description

Large carved hes vase, with thin tenons at top and bottom of vase. Painted in black pigment on the front, with red pigment visible on the back, a shared characteristic with E.GA.2683.1943. This could possibly mean that they came from the same piece of furniture. Damage to the front of the hes vase. Possible traces of adhesive on tenons.
