Vessel Date Unknown

This vessel, made by an unknown artist, is part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art collection. The vessel is shaped as an anthropomorphic figure, with the head of a large-eyed, horned animal. The artist used a black clay with incised detail for the animal's features. The small size of the vessel likely made it portable and suggests that it may have been used for personal rituals or adornment. The unique craftsmanship of the vessel reflects the artistic traditions of the unknown culture it originated from.
