Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a globular body, tapered neck, missing rim, no handles, and a flat base. The vessel has a modeled/molded face on the neck including ears, eyes, nose, and chin. The vessel is painted with stylized animal faces on the body and on the face delineating the facial features in black, red, and white. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange in color. Evidence of usewear includes black staining on the interior. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base. No other numbers are visible on the object.
