Description | Small incasic bottle with pinnate leaf pattern Narrow-necked jar/bottle (aríbalo, aryballos) with an ovate body, hyperboloid neck, flared rim with lugs, 2 strap handles on the body, and a conical (aribaloid) base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel is painted white with brown geometric designs on the body. The neck is painted brown with white horizontal stripes. 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.
