Jug

Tapering body, flattened base; flaring neck; one loop handle shoulder to neck, black bottle. Incasic face on neck and hands in high relief on body (hand holding spindle)

Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jug with a carinated body, flaring neck, rounded rim, 1 strap handle extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. There is a modeled/molded face with ears, eyes, nose, mouth, and chin. There are two modeled hands on the body and incised lines outlining the arms. 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. Evidence of usewear includes surface attrition on the bottom/base. The catalogue number is written on the object in black ink. Black ink on the interior of neck reads: "2835."
