Jug

Globular body, annular base; bottle neck; one loop handle shoulder to neck. Black. With a face on neck and incised and punctuate triangles; small figure in relief.

Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jug with a globular body, effigy-anthropomorphic neck, rounded rim, 1 strap handle extending from the neck to the body, and a ring base/foot base. The vessel has a modeled face on the neck including ears, eyes, nose, and mouth. There are modeled protrusions on the body that may represent ornaments. There are incised lines and punctate dots around the neck representing a necklace, and on the face. There appears to be a burnished 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. Fireclouding is present on the body. 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: "2730."
