Description
Restored ceramic vessel only lacking the base. An open-mouthed jar, made by hand and fired in a reducing atmosphere. The rim is straight and slightly bevelled inside. It has a bridge handle with a flat cross-section that begins in the lip. The body has a high ridge and its shape is convex. No fragment of the original base has been preserved, but it was probably flat. The fabric is grey, with polished grey interior and exterior surfaces.
