| Description | with face Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jug with a globular body, effigy-anthropomorphic neck, rounded rim, 1 strap handle extending from the neck to the body, and a rounded base. There is a mold-formed face on the neck with ears, eyes, nose, mouth, hair, and headdress/headband. There is a raised geometric design around the top half of the body. There appears to be a roughly burnished finish on the exterior. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange in color. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1058." |
