Very small water container of glazed ceramic. The top provided with a tall handle, arch-shaped. The handle decorated with two incised longitudinal lines enclosing incised dots. A length of 3-ply plaited coir is attached to the handle. A circular aperture with flaring rim also placed at the top of the pot. The shoulder is incised with bands of striated triangles. A small circular spout placed on one side of the pot, not following the axis of the handle. The lower part of the pot is not decorated. The transition between the decorated and undecorated parts of the pot is marked by a notched raised line. Another similar line links both ends of the handle to the shoulder line.
