Small terracotta jar with flared rim and polychrome slip decoration. The jar is decorated to resemble a human head wearing a headband. On the body there is a protruding nose at the centre of a pale orange face with black triangular cheek marks, white eyes, closed dark orange mouth, and dark brown hair with white diagonal lines. Around the rim there is an orange head band with white rectangles with black crosshatching. The jar has been broken and repaired, and there are two small pieces missing.
