Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a squat-globular body, flaring neck, rounded rim, no handles, and a rounded base. The vessel has a band of raised dot and line decoration around the shoulder and is painted black. There appears to be a smoothed finish on the exterior and a smoothed finish on the interior. The vessel was likely fired in a reducing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is unknown in color.
