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. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "666."
