Large brownware bottle with a human head around the spout and a globular body with root-marked mottled patina. The head is rounded at the back, with two large protruding ears with holes through the lobes at the sides, and an angled jaw and chin line. The eyes and mouth are indicated by single wide linear depressions, and there are short vertical incised lines at the mouth. There is an incised panel on each cheek with horizontal zigzag lines. The ears have been reconstructed, as has some chipping at the rim. A few sherds on the body have been broken and repaired.
