These kind of bowls were specially designed for liquid offerings. They were filled normally, but when they were tilted the liquid would flow into the mouth of the inner figure, through the hollow rim, and out the mouth of the outer figure. Digital presentation of this object was made possible by: The Ridgefield Foundation, New York, in memory of Henry J. and Erna D. Leir |
