Bound Deer Effigy Vessel

Cleveland Museum of Art

Bound Deer Effigy Vessel by an unknown artist. The vessel is made of dark gray stone or ceramic material and has a weathered appearance. It depicts a deer lying on its side with its legs bent and tied together. The deer's head is facing to the right, and it has large eyes and two small horns protruding from its forehead. A circular opening is visible on the back of the vessel, and a small cylindrical handle extends upwards from the top. The vessel rests on a gray surface against a black background.
