Description

Globular body, flaring neck; one loop handle shoulder to neck. Painted in bands of red-black on white ground

Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a globular body, flaring neck, outward sloping rim, 1 strap handle extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel was painted with bands of horizontal design around the shoulder in orange, red, black, and white. 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 and buff in color. Evidence of usewear includes black staining on the interior and mottled black staining at the interior. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1842."
