| Description | Small with Face Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jar/bottle with an ovate body, flaring neck, flattened rim, no handles, and a flat base. The vessel has a modeled face on the neck with ears, eyes, nose, and mouth. The face is painted with red, black, and white, delineating the eyes, ears, and hat. The body of the vessel is painted with geometric designs in orange red, black, 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. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "3262." |
