Double Vessel

Flat bases, tapering neck on one vessel. Head and upper body of man surmounts the other vessel. Black.

Narrow necked jug with a double chambered effigy-anthropomorphic and globular body, tapered neck, rounded rim, 1 bridge handle extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. Possibly a whistling vessel. The vessel has a molded human form with raised arms and elaborate headdress decorated with punctate dots. 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. Fireclouding is present on the body. 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: "863."
