This zoomorphic vessel that closely resembles a
bat, stands erect in a beautiful red-orange tone,
which sets off the symmetry of the earthenware
vessel. Both the arms and legs are delicate,
requiring the need of a third support to balance
the body of the vessel. The face of the animal
has been placed on the neck of the vessel,
allowing the proportions to be balanced. The
eyes stare out directly, while the mouth is slightly
ajar, showing the sharp fangs of the animal. As a
whole, the artist has attempted and succeeded in
creating a spectacular vessel that can evoke a
range of emotions for the viewer of today, as
well as those in the past.
