Jug

Black bottle with face on neck. Depressed body, flaring neck; one vertical loop handle shoulder to neck

Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jug with a carinated body, hyperboloid neck, rounded rim, 1 strap handle extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. There is a modeled/molded face on the neck with ears, eyes, nose, mouth, and chin. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior. The vessel was likely fired in a reducing atmosphere as the surface is black and the interior is gray in color. Evidence of usewear includes scratches on the exterior. The catalogue number is written on the object in black ink. Black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "3296."
