Description

Annular base; cylindrical neck; two vertical loop handles on body. Black with a face on neck.

Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a globular body, tapered neck, rounded rim, 2 strap handles on the body, and a ring base/foot base. The vessel has a modeled and incised face on the neck with ears, eyes, nose, and mouth. There are two lines incised on the face with dots on either side. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior. The vessel was likely fired in a reducing atmosphere as the surface is black and the interior is gray in color. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1927."
