Vase with Three Mold-Made Bearded Faces

6256 · 7th century BCE (Orientalizing)
<p>The three mold-made heads may not have originally belonged together. Adhesive seems to bind them together along with a fourth curved piece. The heads are all concave on the interior. Details of the hair, beards, and faces are indicated with a dark brown glaze. It is not clear whether the vessel in its current form would be water-tight.</p><p>For the latest information about this object, <cite><a href='https://purl.thewalters.org/art/48.3' rel='external'>Vase with Three Mold-Made Bearded Faces</a></cite>, visit the Online Collection of the Walters Art Museum.</p>
