Indonesian Kendi or Ritual Water Vessel

Hooked handle with a ball end curls over a pot that seems to be mid-wink

This kendi, or ritual water vessel is from Java, Indonesia, and dates to the early 20th century. It is terra cotta. The kendi is a spouted vessel without a handle, found across Southeast Asia, and it is generally filled through a small neck opening and poured without touching the lips. Dark, dusty brown surface with warm orange glints. A bulbous body with a seam near the middle bears a curved handle with a rounded knob on top and a small flared spout. Raised ribs circle the shoulder. It is 7.25 inches high and 5.5 in diameter.

Eccentric of silhouette and not the least bit sorry.
