Fiziksel açıklama
Ewer painted in 2 blues and black. It has a vase-head with a rolled rim at the top of the neck of the ewer. Plantain leaves surround its neck and leaf panels cover its body. The plain S-shaped handle springs from the shoulder of the ewer to reach the base of the vase-head. The almost vertical spout painted with three stylised panels also starts at the shoulder. Two standing cranes between two tufts of grass decorate the neck of the ewer. Skaller birds hover over their heads and they are separated by two flower sprays. The shoulder is emphasised by six reserve-painted panels with cranes and clouds. Themes around the body are a lion with a tuftail tail between rocks, two birds in flight, two pairs of pine trees with birds, the odd butterfly and some horizontal striping.
