Description | This vessel has a flaring rim, a vertical, wide neck and a distinct (flat) disc or broad button base. There is a noticeable bulge to the body low on the vessel. The polychrome effect results from leaving some areas unslipped (thus buff in color), slipping the inside of the rim and the body below the shoulder in red, and drawing geometric designs in brown paint (groups of slanting lines inside the rim, stripes on rim, neck and mid-body and hanging triangles from the lowest stripe). |
Credit Line | Gift of Columbia University through Edith Porada, 1971 |
