Jug

Body angular with flattened base; cylindrical neck; one vertical loop handle shoulder to neck. Painted with a face on neck.

Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jug with an ovate body, hyperboloid neck, rounded rim, 1 strap handle extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. The vessel has a modeled face on the neck with ears, nose, eyes, and mouth. The body is painted with a geometric pattern of vertical lines and bands of color in orange, red, white, and black. The face is also painted in red, white, and black. There appears to be a smoothed 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: "962."
