Jar

Flat base; lower body tapering; neck curving to expanding lip. One loop handle shoulder to neck. Painted red-black on bird pattern.

Narrow-necked jar/bottle with an ovate body, flaring neck, rounded rim, 1 strap handle extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel is painted on the top half of the body with geometric designs in tan, black, orange, 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 bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "370a."
