Description

Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jug with a carinated body, hyperboloid neck, rounded rim, 1 strap handle extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. The vessel has a modeled face including eyes, nose, ears, ear spools, and mouth with chin. There are two small modeled hands added to the body on the shoulder. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior. The vessel was likely fired in a reducing atmosphere as the surface is black and the interior is gray in color. The catalogue number is written in black ink on the bottom of the base. No other numbers are visible on the object.
