Description | Black; Ovoid. With face, squatting figure indicated Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jug with an Ovate body, cylindrical neck, rounded rim, 1 strap handle extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. There is a modeled/molded face on the neck with nose, eyes, and mouth, and arms and legs in relief. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior. The vessel was likely fired in a reducing atmosphere as the surface is black and the interior is gray in color. There are wide burnish lines present and smoothing around the added facial features. The catalogue number is written in black ink. Black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "3102." |
