Leather Bag-Shaped Flask with Cover
A pear-shaped earthenware flask imitates a leather bag, with a flattened body, a raised lobed cover on a short neck, and a looped handle rising from the shoulder. The green glaze has worn to pale, mottled patches across the surface, revealing the body beneath.
Look closer: Small raised studs or rivet-like dots line the edges of the handle and cover.
