Description

Globular body, cylindrical neck with everted lip, one loop handle shoulder to neck, plain red jug with painted face and arms

Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jug with a globular body, hyperboloid neck, flattened rim, 1 strap handle extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel is orange slipped with painted arms and a stylized face in white and black. There is a band of white around the neck and handle. 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. Fireclouding is present on the body. The catalogue number is written on the object in black ink on the bottom of the base. Black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "2766."
