Description | Beige unglazed composite material. Perforation off-center. A standing bearded archer, facing right, shoots his bow at a large opposing serpent. The archer wears a knee length fringed shawl over an ankle length fringed tunic , which is tied at the waist with a broad belt. He carries a quiver over the right shoulder, from which protrude the tips of three arrows. The serpent has a curling, clef-shaped body covered with short bristles, and three part crest. Between the opponents is a short bush with central vertical stem and short radiating branches. A crescent is in the sky above the serpent." |
