Figural Vessel

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Figural Vessel by unknown artist is a gray ceramic object with a wide mouth and a small cylindrical protrusion on top. The vessel has a bulbous body and a narrow neck. A face is carved into the front of the neck, featuring a forehead, nose, mouth, and eyes with eyelids. The face has a rounded headpiece or hairdo with curved lines carved into it. The background of the image is dark gray at the top and light gray at the bottom, with a shadow cast by the vessel.
