Jar

Nearly spherical with sharp equator, flaring neck; two vertical loop handles at equator. With a face on neck, decorated with incised lines and punctuated triangles.

Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jar/bottle with an ovate body, bulging neck, rounded rim, 2 strap handles on the body, and a flat base. The vessel has a modeled face on the neck with eyes, nose, ears, and mouth. There is a geometric design on the neck in incised lines and punctate dots. There appears to be a smoothed 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 vessel is deformed from pre-firing impact. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "285."
