Description | Red ware. With a face modeled on neck and painted animal faces on body. Red-white-black. Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a globular body, effigy-anthropomorphic neck, flat rim, no handles, and a flat base. The vessel has a modeled face on the neck with ears, nose, and chin. The eyes are painted on the face along with squares on the cheeks and a hat on the head. The body is painted with a stylized animal face design in black, white, and red. 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 object in black ink on the bottom of the base. Black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "2707." |
