A stout, handled terracotta vessel with a high, rounded shoulder and a tapered base, echoing the functional silhouette of traditional agrarian storage jars. The surface is finished in a warm sandstone beige wash with subtle, earth-toned shading to create a naturally aged patina. The piece is distinguished by two horizontal registers of Tali Bagu (traditional bark rope) tightly wrapped around the body using the Lilitan technique, adding a tactile, organic contrast to the smooth clay. A single, gracefully curved handle connects the neck to the shoulder, while the visible grain of the terracotta highlights the rustic, hand-wrought character of the piece, grounding it in the heritage of Balinese artisanal craft.
