Bottle

Plain narrow necked clay bottle, angular body with flat base, cylindrical neck with loop handle shoulder to neck

Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a carinated body, cylindrical neck, flattened rim, 1 strap handle extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. There are no molded/modeled additions and no decoration. There appears to be a smoothed finish on the exterior. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere with localized reduction as the ceramic paste is orange and gray in color. Fireclouding is present on the base and body. Evidence of usewear includes scratches on the exterior. The catalogue number is written on the object in black ink. Black in on the bottom of the base reads: "2857."
