Description (Modern):
|
Flat clay handle surmounted by a woman's head roughly modelled . The handle is a rectangular piece of clay, planted on the shoulder of a jar, as found on examples of the Jamdat-Nasr and Predynastic periods. Jars and handles were then painted with designs in one or more colours. This is a piece of later date, on which modelling replaces colours , and apparently a forerunner of the granny spouts. The front is divided by two vertical posts in the middle, between tall buckled shafts on either side, and a slightly incurving top, suggesting a primitive shrine (?). Whitish clay
