- Description
- Four sketches are shown on sheet (left edge perforated). Two vessels at the top of the sheet have conical bodies with pronounced, rectangular spouts. The one at left has a wavy handle, while the other, at right, has a long curved handle and belly bands around the body. The two vessels at the bottom are similar in form to those at the top. They both have a stepped base and rings immediately above this. The one at left has a rectangular handle and is seen from the direction of the spout. The other is drawn so the spout is visible, though the handle is not.
