Small jar with a flat ring-base, hollow underneath, and a shapely body rising from a slender stem; the braod neck splays outward to end in a wide mouth. On the upper curve of the body are three vertical loop handles, not spaced with absolute symmetry. | | Decoration: | | Brown glaze, deepening to black. Broad bands around the tem with fine parallel lines between; an upper zone, which is marked off by similar bands, is bordered by festoons above and below, and carries as a central feature a horzontal belt of irregular circles. Some of these circles were made with one stroke of the brush, which resulted in overlapping ends; others were made with two half-circular strokes, overlapping twice. Above the upper band, bordering the zone, is a belt of four fine lines, then comes a solid coat of color covering the exterior of the beck. The top of the rim is unpainted, but there is a broad band inside along the edge. The handles are coated with paint, and there attachment to the body of the vase is encircled by a ring. The bands are very regular and even and were evidently carefully painted while the pot revolved on the wheel. | | Material: | | Buff clay, buff slip | | Condition: | | Complete or intact. | | Dimensions Actual: | | H: 0.21; Max D: 0.21; Ext.
