Aryballos

Black Incasic; Lizard design in relief on side. Fat with point of bottom flattened

Narrow-necked jar/bottle (aríbalo, aryballos) with an ovate body, hyperboloid neck, flared rim, 2 strap handles on the body, and a conical (aribaloid) base. There is a lizard in low relief on the body. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior. The vessel was likely fired in a reducing atmosphere as the surface is black and the interior is gray in color. There are wide burnish lines present. The catalogue number is written in black ink. Black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "2831."
