An anthropomorphic terracotta vessel with a boldly modeled human face emerges as both container and sculpture.Its rounded form swells gently, giving the visage a sense of quiet presence and ancient intimacy.Incised eyes, a pronounced nose, and raised cheek elements create a rhythm of textures across the surface.The warm earthen tones and hand-shaped imperfections reveal the touch of the maker, suspended in fired clay.
At once utilitarian and poetic, the piece blurs the boundary between everyday object and expressive effigy.


Un vase en terre cuite anthropomorphe se présente à la fois comme contenant et sculpture.

Sa forme arrondie se gonfle doucement, donnant au visage une présence silencieuse et presque ancestrale.Les yeux incisés, le nez prononcé et les reliefs des joues créent un jeu de textures sur la surface.Les teintes terreuses et les irrégularités du modelage révèlent la main de l’artisan figée dans l’argile cuite.

À la fois utilitaire et poétique, l’objet brouille la frontière entre ustensile du quotidien et effigie expressive.


Een antropomorf terracotta vat verschijnt tegelijk als gebruiksvoorwerp en sculptuur.

De afgeronde vorm zwelt zacht op en geeft het gezicht een stille, bijna voorouderlijke aanwezigheid.Ingesneden ogen, een uitgesproken neus en verheven wangdetails creëren een ritmiek aan texturen.De warme aardetinten en handgevormde onregelmatigheden verraden de aanraking van de maker, vastgelegd in gebakken klei.

Tegelijk utilitair en poëtisch vervaagt het stuk de grens tussen alledaags object en expressieve effigie.


Ein anthropomorphes Terrakottagefäß erscheint zugleich als Gebrauchsobjekt und Skulptur.

Die sanft anschwellende, abgerundete Form verleiht dem Gesicht eine stille, beinahe vorzeitliche Präsenz.
Eingeritzte Augen, eine markante Nase und erhobene Wangenpartien erzeugen ein lebendiges Spiel von Texturen.
Die warmen Erdtöne und handgeformten Unregelmäßigkeiten verraten die Spur des Herstellers, im gebrannten Ton bewahrt.Zugleich utilitär und poetisch verwischt das Stück die Grenze zwischen Alltagsobjekt und ausdrucksstarker Effigie.
