Description

Small; painted with a face.

Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a globular body, cylindrical neck, rounded rim, no handles, and a rounded base. The vessel has a modeled/incised face on the neck with ears/headdress on the sides, eyes, nose, and mouth. The face is painted to delineate the features in red, white, green, and black. The body is painted green and white. 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: "2150."
