Description
Flask fired in an oxidising atmosphere, with a reddish fabric and fine inclusions. It is circular and ovoid, with a narrow cylindrical neck. It retains one of the two handles, with an oval cross-section and slight central ridge. The decoration is painted with manganese. On the main face, the decorative motifs are concentric friezes formed by parallel lines that frame a sinuous line.
