Pot with Two Horse Heads
View through Harvard Museums
This cylindrical vessel flares from the mouth to the base. The bottom is slightly convex and undecorated. The top of the vessel is recessed for placement of a lid. The lid would have rested on the raised band encircling the vessel below the lip, which bears an incised herringbone pattern around much of the exterior. The band includes two thick horizontal loops for securing a lid. The remainder of the vessel is smooth and undecorated. A horse-headed lid, 1920.44.226, fits on this vessel; the two pieces may have come to the museum together, with the lid subsequently being separated and mislabeled.
