SEE 26939 Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a globular body, tapered neck, rounded rim, 2 strap handles on the body, and a rounded base. There are no molded/modeled additions and no decoration. The vessel appears to have been smoothed on the body and smoothed with a rotative movement on the neck. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange in color. Evidence of usewear includes surface attrition on the bottom/base and residue on the interior. There are black accretions on the interior, possibly residue. The catalogue number is written on the object in black ink. Black ink on the interior of neck reads: "1336." |
