Carved Vessel with Handles

Heavy bowl with a spout and a face that looks quite stern.

This is a carved stone vessel with handles. Stone vessels with handles have been made in many parts of the world since ancient times, and the handles make a heavy bowl or jar easier to lift and carry. Rounded dark vessel with a pointed lip on one side, a beaded band beneath the rim, and bold relief of large eyes and sweeping brows on the body. It rests on a stub foot, and the rim is chipped with a rough interior.

Fierce eyebrows, and a very sturdy way of making a point.
