Bird Effigy Vessel

Name/Title

Bird Effigy Vessel

Description

A nearly spherical bird effigy pot with a flaring mouth on the top and a stylized bird head with a round beak as the spout. There are remnants of red paint in rectangles around each eye and small remnants of red paint lines on the body. Due to the spherical shape, the vessel does not sit flat. This is possibly a reproduction, although it was labeled as "probably pre-Columbian."
