Description
Frog-shaped seated vessel that appears intentionally unfinished, representing only the back three-quarters of the animal with head and front legs not present. The rim has no lip and is at the centre of the vessel. Lug handles sit at mid-height below the rim.
Decoration
The vessle has carved back legs but no front legs. There is no head and therefore, unlike other vessels of this type, no space for eye inlays or other decorative facial features.
