Description | Body tapering to rounded base, neck flaring; two vertical loop handles on body. With a face on neck with incised and punctuate design. Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jar/bottle with an carinated body, flaring neck, outward sloping rim, 2 strap handles on the body, and a rounded base. The vessel has a modeled face on the neck with eyes, nose, and mouth. The neck/face is decorated with incised lines and punctate dots. There appears to be a smoothed finish on the exterior and a scraped 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 body. There are striations from smoothing tool on the exterior. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "356." |
