Description | Angular body, swollen neck with cylindrical rim, one loop handle shoulder to neck. Plain with face on neck. Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jug with a carinated body, bulging neck, rounded rim, 1 strap handle extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. The vessel has a molded face on the neck with incised eyes and mouth. 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.
