Narrow-necked jar/bottle with an effigy-fruit shaped body, missing neck, missing rim, missing strap handles extending from the neck to the body, and a rounded base. No molded/modeled additions. Fruit shaped vessel. The vessel is shaped like a fruit with a molded/modeled pedicel on one side. The body is painted orange with red/brown lines running longitudinally. 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 and buff in color.
