A finely modelled, orange-reddish Amlash terracotta vessel, with a squat, oval body rises from a flat base and narrows into an open mouth with a flat rim. A prominent, beaked spout rises below the rim and stylistically echoes the applied handle, which is sculpted in the shape of a quadruped, on which four small pellets resembling metal rivets decorate the head, intimating the repoussé ornaments often seen on the metal prototypes.

Date: Circa 9th -8th century BC
