The globular-shaped jar (guan), has flat foot that is uneven and roughly trimmed. There are patches of blackish-red just at the footrim on the side of the jar; a deep horizontal scratch about 1' from the foot. The unglazed pinkish-brown body is flecked with black specks indicating the ferruginous nature of the clay. The jar is glazed on the interior bottom where glaze fell into the jar; on the upper surface to the lowest raised band. The glaze is clear, dark olive, finely crackled, uneven (mottled) and absent from most raised and sharp edges. The upper body is glazed and decorated with three raised bands consisting of a flat, broad band between two channels, spaced about 1-1/4' apart. The two upper bands are connected by molded and applied flat monster-mask handles, of a decidedly avian character, that are surmounted by an applied double spiral. Between the bands, is a freely incised and combed abstract linear scroll pattern. The wider space above the top band and below the mouth is similarly decorated. The mouth is banded by a wide, flat rim.
