This rare 'Duck Head' jar from the early Western Han period (206 B.C. - 71 B.C.) has a long neck with the sculpted duck head shape with an opening in the top. The body is somewhat flattened with a large round base.

This is a particularly lovely example of this style with its typical grey pottery color and pure shape, lacking in any decoration other than the head.

Size - 14" H X 9 1/2" D
