Anthropomorphic Terracotta Vessel with nice use patina

An anthropomorphic terracotta vessel with a boldly modeled human face emerges as both container and sculpture.Its rounded form swells gently, giving the visage a sense of quiet presence and ancient intimacy.Incised eyes, a pronounced nose, and raised cheek elements create a rhythm of textures across the surface.The warm earthen tones and hand-shaped imperfections reveal the touch of the maker, suspended in fired clay.
At once utilitarian and poetic, the piece blurs the boundary between everyday object and expressive effigy.
