Description

globular body; one vertical handle shoulder to neck. Plain with face on neck.

Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jug with a globular body, cylindrical neck, missing rim, 1 strap handle extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. The vessel has a modeled and incised face on the neck. 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 and gray in color. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "912."
