Vessel with Butterfly Headdress

Cleveland Museum of Art

Vessel with Butterfly Headdress by an unknown artist. The vessel has a wide, rounded body made of clay, sitting on three short legs. The body has a wide mouth and is decorated with faded paint. The paint is primarily green, red, and white. The green and red paint forms a band around the middle of the vessel. The white and red paint form a butterfly-like design on the front. The vessel appears to be old and worn, with chipped and faded paint. A small, decorative piece of clay is placed in front of the vessel, likely to support it. The background of the image is dark gray. The vessel is centered in the image.
