Object Description
A fine Western Asiatic ceramic pitcher featuring a globular body which tapers in at the shoulders leading to a cylindrical neck with an out-splayed, flat rim. A single handle has been applied from the upper body to the neck and a spout is visible on the other side. The vessel sits upon a slightly flat base. The pitcher is enriched with a design painted in black and maroon pigments. Horizontal bands in both colours are displayed on the neck and mid-body. A cross hatching pattern features on both sides of the vessel. Both are framed by a square boarder with one taking the form of an animal, possibly a frog.
