Accession number:
Acc.81
Description:
Cup bowl painted with six trophy heads lying horizontally. Height 9.8 cm.; diameter 16.1 cm. Painted in five colors. It appears as if the red background was applied first and then the violet and orange colored areas of the faces. Next the white mouth portion was drawn and then the black outline and hair. As a last step the white slings and panel dividers were applied. The bottom is black as well as the rim band; the interior is solid red. This vessel is interesting in that all the outlines look blurred because of vigerous burnishing which was done mainly in a horizontal direction. However the slings appear to have been done vertically. Illustrated by Kroeber and Strong, 1924, Plate 27g.
