Vessel with Stirrup Spout

Cleveland Museum of Art

The vessel, titled "Vessel with Stirrup Spout" by an unknown artist, is a dark brown, rounded ceramic object with a distinctive shape. The vessel features a rounded body with a short neck and a wide mouth is not visible but a narrow cylindrical opening is; a handle extends from the neck in a loop, forming a circular hole. The handle is adorned with raised geometric designs on either side. The body of the vessel has carved designs on the front and geometric shapes on the sides. The background of the image is a gradient of black to gray, with the vessel casting a shadow on the surface below it.
