A tall, slit terracotta form comprised of two tapering limbs that meet at the top to cradle an inward-curving aperture.

The surface is incised with repeated linear textures and faint floral motifs, the narrow central cleft giving the piece a vertical tension and an intimate, anthropomorphic silhouette. Light and shadow travel the inner cavity and outer ridges, animating the clay’s hand-impressed details; the work feels simultaneously monumental and private, a quiet column of containment that suggests shelter, embrace, and the slow history of making.
