Jug

Pottery. Globular body; flattened base; flaring neck; one vertical loop handle from shoulder to neck. Painted with pelicans above a band of geometrical design.

Narrow-necked jar/bottle with an ovate body, flaring neck, rounded rim, 1 strap handle extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel is painted with bands of design around the shoulder. The top band has a bird design in orange, black, and red. The band below is a geometric design in white, black, red, and gray. 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. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "2120."
