Bottle

Plain

Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a carinated body, hyperboloid neck, rounded rim, 2 strap handles on the body, and a rounded base. No molded/modeled additions. There are drilled holes from an ancient repair. No decoration. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange in color. Fireclouding is present on the body. Evidence of usewear includes possible ancient repairs. There are drilled holes on either side of the crack, likely used in the past as a repair. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "276."
