Jar

Spherical body, cylindrical neck; two vertical handles on body, missing. Painted. With a face on neck.

Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a globular body, cylindrical neck, rounded rim, 2 strap handles on the body, and a flat base. The vessel has a modeled and incised face on the neck with ears, eyes, nose, and mouth. The body is painted with wavy vertical lines in gray/brown on the top half. The face is also painted red and gray/brown. 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: "1863."
