Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jar/bottle with an ovate body, missing neck, missing rim, 1 strap handle extending from the neck to the body, and a ring base/foot base. The vessel has a modeled face and ornaments on the neck. There is an animal in relief on the body and punctate marks around the join of the body to the neck. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior. The vessel was likely fired in a reducing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is gray and orange in color. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1921."
