This stirrup-spout bottle was made to store water or grain. Painters excelled at developing inventive forms on the complex three-dimensional design fields of pottery, striking a measured balance between light and dark passages. The motifs featured comprise an enormous lexicon of geometric curvilinear and stepped forms constructed from solids, hachures (linear strokes), and spirals.
