Description

Round bottom; cylindrical neck; two small vertical loop handles on body. Painted. With a face on neck

Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a globular body, hyperboloid neck, rounded rim, 2 lug handles on the body, and a flat base. The vessel has a modeled face on the neck and is painted with a geometric design in white, black, and red. 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. 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: "685."
