Bottle

Black bottle representing head of a cat, no handle; top of neck broken off

Narrow-necked jar/bottle with an effigy-zoomorphic body, flaring neck, missing rim, no handles, and a flat base. The body of the vessel has a molded/modeled and incised face of a felid with eyes, nose, whiskers mouth with teeth, and ears. 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. 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: "2776."
