Description

With a cat in low relief on semicircular, pebbled panels.

Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a lentoid body, cylindrical neck, missing rim, no handles, and a flat base. No molded/modeled additions. Raised design on either side. The vessel has a raised design on each side of the body representing a jaguar/felid and a double headed saurian over top. There are raised dots making up the background. There are traces of a geometric painted design around the shoulder in orange and tan. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange in color. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1069."
