A water (“toh”) jar, probably late 19th century. The body is decorated with vertical panes of pink and green flowers with white accents and leaves against a yellow background, red bands at the upper and lower body with a green ring around the mouth; a red band separates green bands on the lower body and the foot. The vertical arrangement of the motif on the body is a motif associated with the Himaphan forest. See 000060 for a description of the cover of this piece.
