Jug

With a face and painted animal faces.

Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a globular body, missing neck, missing rim, no handles, and a flat base. The vessel is painted with an orange background and double sided animal heads in red, black, and white with outlined bands extending out from the mouths, possibly tongues. There may have been a modeled/molded face on the neck, which is now missing. 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: "1885."
