| Description | Plain with a face on neck. Vertical loop handle body to neck. Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jug with a globular body, cylindrical neck, pointed rim, 1 strap handle extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. The vessel has a face on the neck with incised facial features including eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. 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. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1904." |
