Description | Body tapering to flat base; slightly tapering neck; one twisted handle shoulder to neck with two small knobs on opposite sides of body. Black. Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a carinated body, tapered neck, rounded rim, 1 strap handle extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. The vessel has two raised bumps on the shoulder opposite the handle. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior. The vessel was likely fired in a reducing atmosphere with localized oxidation as the ceramic paste is gray in color.
