The only upright in the group: where the others sit round and low, this closed handbuilt form in near-black bare clay stands taller than it is wide, egg-shaped and narrowing toward the crown. Broad sweeping drags fan across the belly in a shallow arc — wide soft ridges rather than scratched lines, catching enough light to read as a single gesture across the front. A round hole is bored through the top and holds a dried grass stem; the second photo shows the piece held up in a hand against a plain wall.
What is the sweep across the front of 2287? A fan of broad, shallow drag marks running across the belly — wide ridges, not incised lines, and the clearest gesture on any piece in the group. Piece 2287 of 10,000, listed at $22.87.
