Cup decorated with sculptural cords

3D Model

In this model of vase we find the surface decorated by sculptured cords, that is furrowed by small sinuous bands that were applied on the outer part of the vase once the moulding was finished.

This is a household bowl. It’s quite deep and rounded, medium-sized, that was used for food, liquids, and also to adjust beverages . The presence of the four tabs on the edge could suggest the use to pour liquids without draining.

Like the other ceramic artefacts, this is also made with the technique called “colombino” or “cercine” which consists in rolling up long strings of clay, widening it or tightening it to give a shape to the jar.
