Anthropomorphic Vase

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Anthropomorphic Vase by Unknown, also referred to as a vessel in human form, shows a figure with a large head, small closed eyes, and a subtle mouth. The figure has its hands clasped over its chest. It features a body adorned with geometric patterns in shades of red and black. The figure stands on a flat base with small feet. The overall appearance suggests an ancient or traditional craft.
