Description
This globular jar, very rounded in the upper half, gradually narrows towards the slightly concave and footless bottom. Two vertical loops, diametrically opposed, connect the shoulder to the upper part of the belly: they have the shape of a horned mask at the top and are crossed by vertical striations and have a raised ring around the lower attachment. A double spiral in the shape of a “S” bed was applied above the upper joint. The upper part of the jar is crossed horizontally by three bands of raised lines. The bands delimit three decorative registers: in the two upper ones, is engraved a continuous mixtilinear motif of highly stylised birds decorated with dots.
