Description (Physical description)
A small brown jug coated with black slip, possibly used for carrying oil. It has a high, rounded shoulder, and the body tapers down to a very narrow button base. The neck is narrow and elongated, flaring out to an everted rim, which is connected to the shoulder by a looped handle. The handle is decorated with a vertical incised line down the middle, and a small flattened boss where it meets the rim.
