Untitled work
Description
Bouteille globulaire légèrement carénée à anse-goulot en étrier. Le goulot évasé à rebord part du dos d'un oiseau en ronde-bosse dont les détails sont traités en bas-relief. Les yeux sont traités en cercles concentriques. Sa queue est sous l'anse. Sur le haut de la panse, chacun des quatre bandeaux est décoré en bas-relief d'un poisson semblant dévorer un oiseau, sur fond de granulations. Les quatre décors ne sont pas totalement identiques et leur facture est assez sommaire.
Subject depicted
représentation animalière (oiseau, poisson)
