Description

Red ware with one vertical loop handle and figure in place of opposite handle. With a small figure.

Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a globular body, flaring neck, rounded rim, 2 strap and effigy-anthropomorphic handles extending from the neck to the body, and a rounded base. The vessel has a modeled human figure serving as one of the handles. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior and a smoothed finish on the interior. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange in color. Fireclouding is present on the body. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1911."
