Vase 001

A vessel of a bulbous body which then transposes into a long cylindrical neck flaring out somewhat towards the top. Three rows of fish-scale patterns on the neck. A similar but more elaborate pattern adorns the upper part of the body. It comprises three rows of fish-scale motifs, with various numbers (between one and three) of ornamental spots inside each fish-scale. The upper part of the decoration is finished with a motif comprising diagonal lines. The bottom part features a floral motif reminiscent of three twig branches. There is one such branch under each pair of bottom fish-scales. The vessel is brown with a white slipware pattern.
