The lid is topped with a sculpted seated figure finial, lending the piece a striking sculptural presence. Natural raffia is wrapped around each handle and adorned with stacked ceramic beads, driftwood elements, and carved bone-like ornaments, enhancing its tribal-inspired aesthetic.
The interior is glazed for functionality, while the exterior maintains a raw, matte finish. A small note accompanying the piece references"tutup orang + kuping manik," which translates from Indonesian to lid person + beaded ear," likely describing the lid's human form and the decorative side embellishments.
A unique combination of folk art and functional pottery, this vessel is ideal as a decorative accent or for light storage.
