Description (Physical description)
A small brown jug with black slip, possibly used for carrying oil. It has a high, steep carination, and the body tapers down to a very narrow button base. The neck is narrow with an everted rim, and would have been connected to the shoulder by a looped handle; however, the neck and handle are now detached but present. The body has been reconstructed from sherds but is incomplete; a body sherd is also detached but present.
