Effigy Jug

Black vessel representing a llama. Long flaring neck of vessel rising from back with single loop handle from animal's side to neck of vessel

Narrow-necked jar/bottle with an effigy-zoomorphic body, flaring neck, flattened rim, 1 strap handle extending from the neck to the body, and a footed base. The vessel is shaped like a llama with head, tail, genitalia, and four legs. There appears to be a smoothed finish on the exterior. The vessel was likely fired in a reducing atmosphere as the surface is black and the interior is gray in color. Evidence of usewear includes surface attrition on the bottom/base. The catalogue number is written in black ink on the bottom of body. Black ink on the bottom of body reads: "3250."
