Vessel with Crested Heads

Cleveland Museum of Art

The vessel is a brownish-red color with darker speckles. It has a wide body that narrows to a small opening at the top. There are three protruding heads around the middle of the body. The central head is larger than the two on either side. Each head has a simple face with a straight line for the mouth and closed eyes. The central head has a raised ridge down the middle of its head. The two smaller heads on either side have a curved ridge on top. The background is dark gray to black, with a shadow cast by the vessel.
