A tall-necked ceramic vessel features a bulbous body painted yellow and orange narrowing to a dark brown base. On the red-painted neck, a stylized face displays wide, circular eyes and bared square teeth. On the body, two bird-headed, spotted figures mirror each other, each holding a curved, patterned form in a human-like hand. A central dotted medallion separates them. The vibrant iconography is detailed in red, cream, and dark brown.
