Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a globular body, tapered neck, outward sloping rim, 1 strap handle extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel has incised lines and punctate dots decorating the neck. 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. Fireclouding is present on the base and body.
