Description

Painted pottery. Body angular, fluted on shoulder; cylindrical neck; one vertical loop handle from shoulder to neck; face on neck.

Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jug with a carinated body, cylindrical neck, rounded rim, 1 strap handle extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. The vessel has a modeled and incised face on the neck including ears, eyes, nose, and mouth. The top of the body has vertical grooves at regular intervals and is painted red and white. 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: "1525."
