The ceramic piece is composed of two constituent parts. The surface has been smoothed to a consistent level, both internally and externally, ensuring an even finish. The clay exhibits a distinctive texture, characterised by its fine, slightly rough and hard consistency. The colour of the artefact is a light orange-brown, with traces of red and white paint on both the interior and exterior surfaces. The exterior of the object is embellished with an appliqué that comprises a triangular goat’s head, rendered in a two-dimensional, flat configuration. The subject is positioned at a slight angle, and possesses slit-like eyes and forward-facing ears.
