Description

Globular body with cylindrical neck, collared and with a face on collar. Two vertical loop handles on body. Plain.

Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a globular body, cylindrical neck, rounded rim, 2 strap handles on the body, and a flat base. The vessel has a modeled face on the neck with ears, eyes, and long nose. The mouth is on the shoulder just below the neck and is in an O shape. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is buff and gray in color. Fireclouding is present on the body. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1636."
