- Description
- Globular jar of burnished gray ware, with flattened base and a wide mouth with a thickened rim. A long beak spout extends at right angles to the body; just below the spout is a series of parallel ridges in fine, low relief. A narrow, flat band, in low relief, like a vestigial tail, extends from the neck down the body of the jar on the side opposite the spout. The surface is beautifully compacted and lustrous.
