Description
Large biconical jug with a vertical tape handle and polished outer surface, of Iberian grey pottery produced between 250-200 BC. It has as many as four holes to repair the area of ​​the base. While the use of biconical jugs is linked to consumption of liquids, the large format suggests either community-type consumption or that it is not a jug for consumption, but of service. This piece was found in House 3 in the Iberian settlement Pla de les Tenalles, in the destruction and final abandonment level of the settlement dated around 200 BC.
