DescriptionLidded dark grey glazed stoneware box with rounded lid and sides. The top (about one third of the total height of the box) is crowned with various geometric elements, including a rectangle upon which is a solid sphere from which one quarter has been removed. This element has been attached directly to the top of the lid. There is also a mandorla (or vesica piscis)-shaped object, with one end cut off also resting on the rectangle.CopyrightChristopher P.
