Jar

Pottery. Flat base, convex body, nearly vertical neck, with a modeled face on neck, lizard in relief on front of body, painted animal faces

Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jar/bottle with an ovate body, flaring neck, rounded rim, no handles, and a flat base. The vessel has a modeled face on the neck and a modeled lizard on the front of the body. The body of the pot is painted with a band around the shoulder with a stylized double sided animal head design in white, black, and red. The face is also painted with black, white, and red. 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. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1883."
