Mit Rahina Ware Vessel

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Mit Rahina Ware Vessel by Ware is a rounded vessel with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The vessel is light-colored with a weathered appearance. The body features a series of carved bands with various designs. The top band has a leaf-like pattern and flower-like motifs. A thin band with a braided design separates this from a band featuring animals, including birds and what appears to be lions or other quadrupeds. Another thin band with a braided design separates this from a band featuring a fluted or ribbed pattern. The background of the image is dark gray.
