Descriptions Description Ceramic vessel in the shape of a short-eared and long-muzzled animal on four wheels held in place by two metal pins running perpendicular to the body for front and hind wheels. Metal pins are probably not original. The hollow body of vessel/animal is long and cylindrical with neck, head, and muzzle extending from one end which forms the container opening. Located just under the neck is a small protrusion with indications that a cord may have been strung through to pull the wheeled vessel. Small round opening at top center of the cylindrical body and simple decorative pairs of incised lines.
