Vessel with Battle Scene

Cleveland Museum of Art

Cylindrical vessel with a flat top and rounded bottom. The vessel is primarily beige with a reddish-brown rim and base. It features a battle scene with two figures, one wearing a spotted outfit and a headdress with two curved protrusions, holding a spear and shield; the other figure wears a white outfit and a headdress. The scene is framed by vertical and horizontal bands of symbols and hieroglyphics in shades of red, black, and orange. The background of the image is dark gray, transitioning to light gray at the bottom.
