Pottery: painted. Spheroidal body with flattened base; constricted above to form head of figure from which rises flaring neck. one loop handle from shoulder to neck with a face and arms in low relief.

Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a globular body, effigy-anthropomorphic neck, missing rim, no handles, and a flat base. The neck of the vessel is mold formed in the shape of a rounded head with face including ears, nose, eyes, and mouth with chin. There are two modeled arms on the body. The vessel is painted delineating the features of the figure and with a geometric pattern around the body, possibly representing the design of the tunic. The painted decoration is in white, black, 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. Fireclouding is present on the body. 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: "290."
