Description | Body fusiform; neck broken. With a face on neck and painted animal faces on upper body. Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jar/bottle with an ovate body, missing neck, missing rim, no handles, and a flat base. The vessel has a modeled face on the neck and band of painted decoration around the shoulder with a stylized double sided animal head design in red, white, and black. 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.
