An Ancient Irish Bronze Age Vase
A rounded vessel with a broad open rim is covered in narrow bands of repeated geometric ornament. Diagonal strokes, dotted rows and vertical motifs change direction across its surface. The caption identifies an ancient Irish vase of the Bronze Age. Donnelly reproduces the object within a comparison of ancient material cultures, while its particular decoration remains the drawing’s clearest feature.
