Examples of small face-neck jars recovered from Cerro Baúl. Both correspond to Type 7 jars in form. Larger face-neck jars have also been found in the brewery and palace, but the eyes are formed with narrow slits. To date, none of the face-neck jars exhibit decorative motifs on the body, but they are limited to the face, headdress, and neck area.
