Accession number:

Description:
Double spout bottle painted with two winged Anthropomorphic Mythical Beings. Height 14.7 cm.; maximum body diameter 12.9 cm. Painted in 9 colors. The face is black, mouth mask white, bangles purple, forehead ornament flesh, necklace dark orange, cloak orange, armes brown, legs grey and the background red. The design is well executed with the exception of the bangles which are carelessly outlined. This may be due to the artists being unable to distinguish the bangle color from the background color when outlining before firing. The brown pigment of the spouts is crackled. The bottom is very crudely burnished in comparison with the remainder of the vessel. Illustrated by Kroeber and Strong, 1924, Plate 28b; Proulx, 1968, Plate 3a; and Uhle, 1913, Figure 12:11.
