Jug

Tapering bottom; bulging neck; two vertical loop handles at equator. With a face on neck with incised lines below applied ring button eyes.

Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jar/bottle with an carinated body, bulging neck, rounded rim, 2 strap handles on the body, and a flat base. The vessel has a modeled face on the neck with ears, eyes, nose, and mouth. There is incised detail on the face including two vertical lines on each cheek. There appears to be a smoothed 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: "1556."
