Description
Almost whole jar, lacking only the portion of the base. It has a closed mouth, moulded rounded lip, globular body and long neck. It preserves a handle that begins in the neck of the jar and ends in the shoulder, the base of the jar has been interpreted based on other models as flat in shape. The surface of this container has a watery clay slip applied with a brush; this slip was rich in iron oxides, which made it turn red in the firing process. The jar was fired at a low temperature and has a light buff fabric. This vessel is identified as a local production of common pottery, which has been defined as "common ware with Guissona red slip."
