Goat Head Rhyton
I still consider this piece unfinished, since I had originally planned to line the inside of the Rhyton with goat skin. I am having trouble finding it.
The second part of the piece will be a series of 'hoof vessels' that accompany the rhyton. I am making the original out of plastilina, so that I can make a slip cast mold. I want the cups, in the shapes of goat's feet, to be so thin, that they are translucent...so that as they are filled with liquid, they darken and flush.
A small tuft of raw goat's hair will be anchored to the bottom of each vessel, so that the hair is enveloped by the contained liquid, and revealed as it is emptied.
