- Description
- Fragment. Exterior: reserved band with two dancing men, who move to the left but turn their heads back to the right. Incision for the round eye, eyebrow, ear, and the edge of hair. A white fillet (?), now worn off, around the neck of the man at left. Added purple for the hair and a stroke across the chest. Arms taper off, and there is no hand detail. These men are descendants of earlier komasts. Interior: reserved band at rim. Glaze is dull (Appendix 2, sample AP 17).
