Hands and Bodies, Unsigned Studio Pottery Vessel bone doll I kind of like it

I kind of like it folded in half myself: 7" x 8 1/2"

It would also make a great small planter

Signed on the underside but with the name unreadable

8 1/4" long x 3" wide x 1/4" thick

Tiles measure 3 3/4' X 1 7/8" X 3/16" each

Hands and Bodies, Unsigned Studio Pottery Vessel bone doll I kind of like itI'm thinking this vessel likely once had a lid, which perhaps also functioned like a small tumbler the tapering of the top and undecorated area on one side seems to suggest that. But I have a feeling it's better this way anyway just a pure field of hands and silhouetted bodies interrupting each other in a sort of endless dance of stop and go (or Mother May I?) The only punctuation are two unpainted hands in low relief 3 4 of the way down either side;
