Description: | This angular vessel is topped with a figure who is despicted lying face down, leaning on the left arm with the right arm raised towards the chin. On top of the figures head is a large hole by which liquid can be poured into the vessel. The figure is disproportionate with a large bulbous head and short legs. The facial features have been simply modelled. The eyes, ears and nose have been pierced with small holes. Incised lines define the hands and feet. The object is made from pottery and is grey/brown in colour. The surface has been polished giving it a smooth, shiny texture, whereas the face and chest have been left matt. The tips of some of the fingers on the right hand appear to be missing and a few chips can be found to the vessel.
