Description

Spherical body, cylindrical neck. Plain. With a face on neck and arms in low relief.

Face-neck vessel. Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a globular body, cylindrical neck, rounded rim, no handles, and a rounded base. The vessel has a modeled and incised face on the neck and two raised arms with incised fingers on the body. 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 base. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1905."
