Flask

Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a globular body, tapered neck, flat rim, 1 hollow handle extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel is painted with vertical bands of red and orange around the body with thick black lines between and dashes and squiggles in black and white. 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. Evidence of usewear includes surface attrition on the bottom/base. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1179."
