Jug

Pottery. Globular body, long cylindrical neck; one vertical loop handle from shoulder to neck. Right foot missing. painted red-white-black, with cat's head in relief

Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a squat-globular body, cylindrical neck, rounded rim, 1 strap handle extending from the neck to the body, and a ring base/foot base. The vessel has a molded/modeled cat face protruding from the shoulder opposite the handle. The cat also has two arms in relief on the body. The vessel is painted with vertical stripes and bands of geometric design in between in red, white, and black. The cat figure is painted delineating its features in red, white, and black. 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. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1823."
