Description
Jug fired in an oxidising atmosphere, with a reddish fabric and fine inclusions. It has a globular body and cylindrical neck with a slight central moulding and rounded lip, sometimes with a triangular outer edge. It has two handles, which go from the neck to the beginning of the belly. The decoration is painted with manganese oxide on the neck, at the start of the body and on the belly, with decorative motifs of concentric parallel lines, sometimes framing sinuous lines.
