Description

Teardrop-shaped vase, with bulbous body and short, 'stumpy' neck. Vertical cracks visible down one side of the object. Traces of yellow pigment visible across surface of object.. This is one of a number of objects that have previously been catalogued under a single entry: 'E.172.1903'. The collection of items all appear to derive from funerary models, and are each elements found within individual scenes, but they are not from the same model, and possibly do not derive from a single site.
