Description
The tripod support of this graceful bowl is formed by a two-headed dog who turns to face himself. Such bowls were used to hold grave gifts of food or incense. The dog's two heads are engaged in continuous conversation, as if undecided about which direction to turn in order to settle down for a nap. - (PF.0582)
