| Description | Small, Fragmentary Narrow-necked jar/bottle (aríbalo, aryballos) with an ovate body, missing neck, missing rim, 2 strap handles on the body, and a conical (aribaloid) base. The vessel has a protruding stylized animal head on the shoulder. The vessel is painted red with white around the shoulder where it joins the neck. There appears to be a smoothed finish on the exterior. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange in color.
