Jar

Pottery. Spheroidal body, tulip neck, two vertical loop handles on body. Painted red-black-white in cross bars.

Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a globular body, bulging neck, outward sloping rim, 2 strap handles on the body, and a flat base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel is painted with a geometric criss-cross design painted in white, black, and orange. There are three pronged lines in between the criss-crosses, possibly representing bird footprints. 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. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base: "1844."
