Description

Globular body with flattened base; bulging neck; two vertical loop handles on body. With a face on neck ornamented with incised and punctate designs.

Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jar/bottle with an ovate body, bulging neck, rounded rim, 2 strap handles on the body, and a flat base. The vessel has a modeled and incised face on the neck with ears, eyes, and nose. There are incised vertical and zigzag lines decorating the neck. There appears to be a smoothed 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: "1545."
