Jar

Flattened base; two vertical loop handles on body. With a face on neck with incised and punctuate designs. Body and neck badly bent before burning.

Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jar/bottle with an ovate body, flaring neck, rounded rim, 2 strap handles on the body, and a flat base. The vessel shape was distorted prior to firing. The vessel has a modeled face on the neck with eyes, nose, ears, and mouth. There is a geometric design on the neck in incised lines and punctate dots. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange in color. Fireclouding is present on the body. Portions of the vessel appears dark gray and porous, possibly from overfiring. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1888."
