Deer Effigy Vessel

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Deer Effigy Vessel by an unknown artist features a dark-colored, likely bronze, vessel with a distinctive design. The vessel has a rounded body with a wide mouth and a short, flared base. Three legs are positioned at the bottom of the vessel. A curved spout extends from the left side, shaped like a deer's head with antlers. The vessel's body is adorned with etched designs resembling feathers or leaves. A smaller, decorative protrusion is on the right side. The background of the image transitions from dark at the top to light gray at the bottom.
