Description | Pottery: painted black red and white. Flattened base, globular body, neck modified by human head; one loop handle from shoulder to neck. The face on neck has loop ear discs. Painted design on upper body on points and stripes. Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jug with a globular body, missing neck, missing rim, 1 strap handle extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. The vessel has a modeled face on the neck with loop ear spools, eyes, nose, and mouth. The top half of the body is painted with a zigzag design with dots in red, white, and black. The features of the face are also painted in red, white, and black. 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: "1546." |
