Catalogue Description: Flask-shaped jar depicting a standing, male figure. The vessel has a long, thin, slightly-flared neck. The polychrome design on red-brown slip is heavily burnished. The male figure wears a tapestry-woven tunic with elaborate geometric designs in red, black and ochre, and an undecorated square hat. The tunic's iconography includes the temple-step design. The figure is outlined with thin, black lines; and the hands have seven fingers and feet four topes. His head is the neck of the jar, and the face has a modeled nose with painted eyes and mouth and vertical red lines decorating the cheeks. The wide, white wide eyes are outlined in black. Condition: good; there are losses on the proper right side of the vessel and minor chips at the back of the neck and rim.
