- Description:
- It consists of a small bucket supported by four legs emerging from a plain pedestal, all in one piece. The feet of the vase roughly imitate the legs and knees of an animal. The bucket is decorated, at the bottom and in the middle, with three rather deep parallel lines which surround it, and at the top with a row of triangles, the apex at the bottom, crossed by a certain number of horizontal lines. - Descriptive inventory by Nicolas Van Werveke of the Spring ethnographic collection. N.B.: this is a faithful transcription of Van Werveke's inventory, the terms used in 1898 have not been modified, even those whose use is considered critical today.
