About this work
Large numbers of ceramic vessels decorated with black slip have been found among the sophisticated urban settlements of South Asia's protohistoric Indus Valley civilization. The walls of this jar are so thin that it must have been created on a potter's wheel.The four male ibex have two curving horns of exaggerated length, and three hairs under the chin.
