The animal vessels, which most likely also come from the province of Gilan, reveal a special kind of abstraction. The body of this deer-shaped pouring vessel has an ovoid form and four short, thickset conical legs. The deer\u2019s head is worked to form the spout. The small ears stick out sideways and the relatively short, six pointed antlers slant backwards. The animal\u2019s tail is suggested but there is no evidence of any sexual organs.<\/p>\n
