Object Description

A nicely rendered Western Asiatic, Amlash red terracotta vessel, modelled in the shape of a stylised goat, with long horns extending downwards and backwards. The vessel stands on four short legs, and features globular body and a cylindrical spout to the top, which would have allowed libations to be filled and poured. Vessels of this type were probably used for ceremonial function and often placed in graves.
