Effigy

Flat base, pear-shaped body, tapering neck, one loop handle shoulder to neck. Representing a flute player with elaborate headdress.

Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jug with an effigy-anthropomorphic body, effigy-anthropomorphic neck, rounded rim, 1 strap handle extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. The vessel is shaped like a seated musician with flute and rattle. The figure has an elaborate ridged headdress and is painted throughout with straight and curved black lines over a white and red base. 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 object in black ink on the bottom of the base. Black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1798."
