Vessel with Two Feet, ca. 1000-800 B.C.E., Brooklyn Museum: Egyptian, Classical, Ancient Near Eastern Art

A tall vessel with an oval, almost bag-like body, a somewhat elongated neck with an everted rim and a pair of narrow curving handles that spring from the oblique shoulder to the neck. The lower portion of the vessel splits into two legs with well-modeled feet. Details such as ankle bones and the arch of each foot are rendered by modeled forms rather than incised lines. The overall effect is that of a wine- or waterskin rather than a ceramic vessel. It is likely that this association was intentional- as the light porous ceramic body of the vessel allows water to evaporate slowly through the sides, thus slightly cooling the remaining contents. Size: height: 18 7/8 in. (48 cm) diameter: 7 11/16 in. (19.5 cm) Medium: Clay
