D-Ware – beaker C-0343

Three animals are depicted in the space between the black top of the beaker and the white-coated bottom. One antelope, facing right, has long straight horns. Its body is stylised, and it has no tail. In front of it, another animal, possibly a donkey, is represented vertically. Its head is bending down; it has a short tail and two ears pointing frontward. Finally, another quadruped, facing right, is located between the donkey and the antelope; its ears are poorly rendered and its head is very schematic. A faint trace below its neck can however be interpreted as the remains of a loop for a leash; the animal could therefor be a dog, chasing the antelope. None of the animals have their body filled in with any design. The authenticity of the decoration is not certain.
