Description | Body fusiform: neck slightly expanding. With a face on neck and painted design on upper body. Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jar/bottle with an ovate body, flaring neck, rounded rim, no handles, and a flat base. The vessel has a modeled face on the neck including ears, eyes, nose, and (incised) mouth. The body is painted with vertical stripes in red, gray, and white. The face is also painted. 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: "845." |
