Clay vessel

Small, spherical jug with a short, conical neck. The object has a flaring rim with a flattened lip. It has been smoothed, slurried, primed and polished on both sides. Its exterior is painted. The primer and paint are barely eroded. The pottery has a red base colour, which is painted white and black. The neck was primed in a white-yellowish colour and decorated with two surrounding red wavy bands. Two horizontal black lines border the ornamental band. The body of the vessel, the rim, the lip and the inside of the neck were completely primed in red. 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)
