| Description | Small with Face Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a globular body, flaring neck, rounded rim, 2 lug handles on the body, and a flat base. The vessel has a modeled/molded face on the neck with ears, eyes, nose, and mouth. The vessel is painted delineating the features of the figure and with a double sided animal head on the front and back of the body. 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: "3275." |
