A water jar from Taller Dolores Porras in Santa María Atzompa, Oaxaca. Its round body is covered in small modeled flowers, with three bull heads rising from the shoulder and a ruffled, flower-like mouth.
Each flower and figure is applied by hand, then the whole piece is coated in Atzompa's deep green glaze, which pools in the hollows and catches the light on the raised forms.
