Kendi in the Form of a Hamsa (Gander)
The ceramic vessel has a light greenish-gray glaze. The body of the vessel is bulbous with a short neck and a wide mouth that is not visible. A long neck extends from the body to the left, ending in a bird-like head with the mouth open. The tail of the vessel curves upward to the right, resembling a bird's tail feather. The base is small and rounded. The background is a tan fabric or paper.
