Item type figurine
Fragmentary vessel with appliquŽ decoration. Only body and foot of the vessel remain, neck, rim and the two handles are missing. The body is roughly biconical, the foot flat and splayed. The decoration of the vessel consists of appliquŽ plaques as well as incised lines, dots and concentric circles. A band of oval jewels, each set within a bead border, runs round the angle of the shoulder. Above these, a band of leaf-shaped appliquŽ plaques runs around the vessel. Underneath each stump of the two handles is an appliquŽ mask showing the face of a man with a sad expression, a broad nose, bulging eyes and pointed ears with large round earrings. The vessel seems to have been mould-made, as no pottery marks are visible.;
