4229 – Spirit Pot

A ceramic jar in a classic vase shape, with a domed lid (sealed); the body painted dark green and the lid a lighter green. There are four vertical bands, probably made of brass, attached to the body of the jar, with ornate brass cross-shapes between them, and a similar cross shape on the top of the lid, which has a red square painted over it. There are various magical names written in red on the body of the vase and in black on the lid.

4230 – Spirit Pot

A shallow pot with a (sealed) lid, glazed a shiny purple colour, and probably originally a small casserole. The lid is notably less shiny than the body, and is inscribed with words and symbols using red paint. When the pot is tilted small objects can be heard moving inside it.
