Jar

Spherical body, tulip neck; two vertical loop handles on body. Painted. Tri-colored; red-black-white

Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a globular body, bulging neck, rounded rim, 2 strap handles on the body, and a flat base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel is painted with bands of vertical stripes in red, orange, white, black, and purple. The rim is painted with curvilinear designs in black and white. 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. There are striations on the interior surface from smoothing tool. Evidence of usewear includes black staining on the interior and mottled black staining at the interior. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1859."
