A slightly glazed, painted earthenware pot, crudely made but - Lot 134
A slightly glazed, painted earthenware pot, crudely made but featuring an extremely complex relief decoration that depicts all aspects of domestic life. On the body, a shepherdess, with her goat at her feet, is being courted by a young farmer who offers her a bouquet, all set against a landscape of apple trees—without the serpent—and a brick house with a shingle roof. The lid depicts a village overlooked by a ruined watchtower, accessible by a staircase; the hollowed-out interior of the tower serves as a container for matches.
