Jug

Black vessel with head, spout and curved handle broken off

Narrow necked jug (whistling vessel?) with a carinated body, effigy-anthropomorphic neck, missing rim, unknown stirrup handle on the body, and a flat base. There is a molded/modeled face with hat, eyes, nose, ears, and mouth and arms in relief on the body. 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. Evidence of usewear includes surface attrition on the bottom/base. The catalogue number is written on the object in black ink. No other numbers are visible on the object.
