Description

Plain. Red ware. Globular body, tapering neck, one shoulder to neck handle.

Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a globular body, cylindrical neck, rounded 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 burnished finish on the exterior. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange in color. Evidence of usewear includes possible ancient repairs. There is a series of drilled holes on either side of the break, likely an old repair. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "680."
