Jar

Pottery. Globular body, flaring neck, two vertical loop handles from shoulder to neck. Painted red-black-white: spotted band on upper body.

Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a globular body, flaring neck, rounded rim, 2 strap handles extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel is painted with a band of circular spots with a dot at the center in white, orange, and black. There is a black and white criss-cross design painted around the rim. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior and a smoothed 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 on the interior surface from smoothing tool. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1637."
