Journal Assignment 4 Jessica Lowry

This piece is a Greek Kylix cup. I chose this piece because to me it does not look like a cup at all but instead a bowl. The handles on both sides makes me wonder what one would be drinking out of this cup and if it was used in ceremonies?

This piece was found in Hasanlu cemetery in Northwest, Iran. I chose this piece because it looks like a tea pot almost sitting on some kind of old style burner. To me it looks like a flame would be put under the pot to heat up the contents inside. I enjoy this piece because it is very different from the other pieces that I looked at.

I chose this piece because it is from Teotihuacan, Mexico. I use to be an Anthropology major and my focus was on Mesoamerican culture so pieces like this fascinate me. I really like the intricate design around the bowl, as well as the peg-like feet.
