We dug this up out of the dump we are digging. It was mixed in with 1880's bottles so....Anyone have a clue what it is?

My Dad spent time in Japan and he seems to think it is Japanese by the way they are dressed and the way their hair is done. He said he could be wrong but that's what he thinks.

That is a japanese imperial burial jar. Know as Fown-Een-Dung. The ashes of the emperor were stored in it. It was considered a great sacralage to disturb one and a great curse was put on anyone who touches it.
