Clay vessel

Small, neckless jug with a domed base, narrowed mouth and bevelled lip. Both sides of the object have been smoothed and polished. Its exterior is primed, painted and lightly polished. The primer and paint are partially eroded. The pottery has a salmon-coloured undercoat, which is painted red and black on the outside of the vessel. The object is decorated with several upright, circumferential red wavy lines. It has a central, circumferential frieze. It consists of two horizontal black lines with a zigzag line of the same colour running between them. Cultural significance: the mould inventory of this type mainly comprises jugs and figurative vessels. The determination of its exact date requires further documentation. (Künne 2004)
