Jug

Flat base, globular body, tapering neck, one loop handle shoulder to neck. With face modeled on neck breast ornament painted.

Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a globular body, tapered neck, flattened rim, 1 hollow handle extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. The vessel has a modeled face on the neck including ears, eyes, nose, and mouth. The neck is painted with the features of the effigy shape while there is a painted collar/breast ornament on the body in white, red, and black. 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 bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "449."
