Description
Ceramic container with a wide mouth and cylindrical neck that is distinct from the globular body with an annular base and two handles. The mouth might have had a spout (undocumented) centred between the two handles. The jar is glazed on the outside, except for the base. The type of container and its small size indicate that it could have been used to store valuable items. This piece appeared in one of the graves as a result of the attack on the Jewish quarter of Tàrrega in 1348, and might have been used for some kind of ritual in connection with the riot victims buried there.
