Earthenware painted in greenish brown under a transparent off-white galze
Earthenware, painted in greenish brown under a transparent off-white, crazed glaze.
Shape: segmental bowl with a plain rim and an angled lip on a carinated bowl, sitting on a low, wide foot ring.
Interior: the rim is painted with dots; on the lip enclosed with concentric lines a scrolling vegetal frieze comprises tendrils and buds. A concentric band on the lower lip frames the decoration on the roundel comprising a prancing goat with long horns and beard amid a vegetal landscape of ferns and budded plants. Three scar marks on the base indicate the use of a tripod stacking device during firing.
Exterior: rim is painted brown; below which a concentric line is painted. On the upper body, above the carination, a frieze of roughly drawn spirals is enclosed between concentric lines. Glaze coverage is uneven on the spiral frieze and does not extend below the carination.
