Unknown - Artwork 1005

A compact vessel rendered in a coarse, blackened surface that suggests high-temperature firing or an iron-rich glaze. The form is rounded and irregular, its exterior pitted with a volcanic texture and small nodules; a folded lip reveals a warm reddish interior, offering a sharp contrast that animates the object's otherwise somber exterior. The piece reads as an object of tactile drama: rough, weighty and hand-shaped rather than wheel-thrown.

Tiny mineral flashes and a rugged silhouette give it an elemental presence, as if the pot had been formed by accretion and flame rather than precise tooling.
