Pottery; globular body; tapering neck; one wide tubular loop handle shoulder to mid neck. Painted black and white on red slip.

Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a globular body, tapered neck, rounded rim, 1 hollow handle extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. No molded/modeled additions. There is a hole in the handle. The vessel is painted with geometric designs in orange, red, black, and white. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior.
