Object No. TER-002
Polychrome Floral Motif Terracotta Vase
Physical Description:

An elongated terracotta vessel featuring a flared “trumpet” rim and a slender, tapering body. The surface is divided into horizontal registers of dense ornamentation, featuring repeating floral scalloping, teardrop motifs, and rhythmic wave patterns. The upper and lower bands utilize a high-contrast palette of warm earth tones against a cool teal base, blending traditional pottery with folk-art mural techniques. The neck is left in a natural, unadorned creamy white to provide a clean visual break from the detailed body work.
