Jug

Pottery. Body depressed with four vertical grooves; annular base; nearly cylindrical neck; one loop handle from shoulder to neck. Painted with textile design; red-black-white.

Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a squat-globular body, hyperboloid neck, outward sloping rim, 1 strap handle extending from the neck to the body, and a ring base/foot base. The vessel is painted with a geometric design that is now barely visible. The painted decoration was originally in red, black, and white. 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: "1854."
