- About The Seed Jar with Triangular Collar
Alice's collar on this pot brings to mind facial scarification of some African tribes.
Encircling the outer surface is a band of upright then inverted triangles, colored darker than the pot's main body, defined by impressed marks. The pot's graceful curving contour is compatible with its shiny patina and nearly silent opening.
