Created with a beautiful black slip, this vessel is
indeed a memorable and striking piece. The
design of this pear shaped vessel, is that of a
woman. One hand is placed one her leg and the
other stabilizes the vessel. However, the arm is
rather contorted, making it appear that she has a
deformity. The lines around the eyes seem to
show that she is an older woman. Her pointed
breasts, her arms and legs are all highly
ornamented with geometric designs. On her head
rests a simple flat hat that is etched. Her feet
rest on a pedestal of some kind that supports
the vessel primarily. The vessel is extremely
unique in design and displays the ingenuity of
the artist at that time. Though it is indeed easier
to copy or replicate a work, this artist decided to
create his own masterpiece, and in doing so
created apiece which has surpassed the
boundaries of time to become a rare and
stunning piece.
