This anthropomorphic vessel depicts a person holding a spouted libation vessel and was itself used for libations. The spouted libation vessel which is held by the figure is a typical spouted goutered jug. The distribution of this vessel is limited in geographical extent to central and northwestern Iran. Hollow anthropomorphic vessels are also known from other Iranian sites, such as the one produced in painted buff ware from Baba Jan in Luristan.
