| Description | Painted Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a globular body, effigy-anthropomorphic neck, rounded rim, no handles, and a flat base. There is a modeled effigy face on the neck and a geometric painted design on the body in orange, white, and black. The face is also painted. 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. Fireclouding is present on the base and body. Evidence of usewear includes staining on the interior. The catalogue number is written in black ink. Black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "3267." |
