DescriptionA lenticular vessel with a modelled head, from the back of which a bridge handle reaches to meet a long, thin spout arising from the body of the vessel. The surface is covered with multiple representations of a defenerate, spine covered, four legged creature with a tail and mouth full of teeth; Degenerate, stylized demon heads and circles with dots in the centres are scatered among the animal figures. The design is in four colors against red, brown, black, buff, white and dark red. The bottom is white slip. The execution is quite sloppy.On View
