Description

Pot without handles with encircling band of raised ornamentation on shoulder, globular body, bulging neck

Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a globular body, flaring neck, rounded rim, no handles, and a rounded base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel has a band of mold-formed design in relief around the body. The vessel has a band of raised dot and line decoration around the shoulder and is painted red. There appears to be a smoothed 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: "3313f."
