Description | Round bottom; high neck, wide mouth. Painted. With animal head projecting from upper body. Tri-colored red-black-white. Wide mouthed vessel with a globular body, flaring collar, rounded rim, no handles, and a rounded base. The vessel is painted with a geometric zigzag pattern around the shoulder in white, black, and red. The collar is also painted with a curvilinear design in black, and white. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior and a smoothed finish on the interior. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange in color. Fireclouding is present on the base. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1838." |
