| Title: | Plastic Animal Vase Fragments: Bull Figure, Patterned | |
| Category: | Pottery | |
| Description: | Brown on buff clay. ADDENDA 2018: Three sherds mended into two non-joining sections of a medium sized bull figure. The entire snout and front half of the head are preserved, as well as the backside of the head and approximately two thirds of one of the horns. The technical details of manufacture are interesting: the head was made on the wheel, with the snout, eyes, brow ridges, and horns added on later. A firing hole was left in the upper center of the head. The upper part of the head has a medium band around its exterior edge, but no decoration around the firing hole. The eyeball is monochrome and there is an eyebrow painted above it. The snout has four horizontal lines defining its contours. The horn was separated from the head by a medium band. Three or possibly four lines ran along the length of the horn. The backside of the head has a fringe of necklace pattern, probably meant to represent hair. The paint is thick, fairly evenly applied, and fired dark brown. There are no traces of use-wear or burning. ADDENDA 2021: Frag. c added from lot. Furumark Motif 1: 72 | |
