Jar

Annular base, globular body, tapering neck, two vertical loop handles on body. Formerly painted with a face on neck.

Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a globular body, tapered neck, rounded rim, 2 lug handles on the body, and a ring base/foot base. The vessel has a modeled face on the neck with ears, eyes, nose, and mouth. The vessel was originally painted with geometric patterns in white, purple, black, and red. 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: "1862."
