Description

Flat red bottle with face on neck. Two vertical loop handles on shoulder, face wears ear discs, incasic style

Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jar/bottle with an lentoid body, flaring neck, flattened rim, 2 strap handles on the body, and a flat base. The vessel has a molded face on the neck, which is also painted with black lines on the mouth, nose, and eyes. 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: "2842."
