Vessel in the Form of a Kneeling Woman in the Brooklyn Museum, March 2010

Vessel in the Form of a Kneeling Woman in the Brooklyn Museum, March 2010

Figure of Kneeling Woman

The artisan who made this piece combined a functioning vessel with the figure of a kneeling woman holding round pots and a curved horn. She probably represents a midwife with the items of her trade: vessels containing oils and drugs for easing the mother's discomfort. This hollow piece probably held such a soothing salve or pain-reducing agent itself.

Dimensions: 3 13/16 x 2 in. (9.7 x 5.1 cm)
