This is one of the more unique Kewa jars we have encountered. The body of the vessel is globular and rises to a graceful neck that is short in comparison to most jars.  This shape is most appealing from a visual sense and also provided the potter with a larger area on which to lay the design.  There are three traditional polychrome Kewa birds separated by three long-stem black flowers.  The flowers extend from the lower framing lines to the neck of the vessel, made possible by the elongated vessel shape.
