Bottle

Flattened base, cylindrical neck, painted. With a face on the neck.

Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jar/bottle with an ovate body, hyperboloid neck, rounded rim, no handles, and a flat base. The vessel has a modeled face on the neck with ears, nose, eyes, and mouth. The body is painted with a double sided animal head design and the rim has a band of geometric stepped design in white and black. 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: "1645."
