‘HU’ VASE WITH ONE HANDLE AND LONG NECK

Description The vase has a high cylindrical neck with a strongly everted rim, grafted onto a dome-shaped body in contrast with its convex bottom with a narrow base. One handle connects the neck to the shoulder of the jug, and another hook-shaped handle, oriented at the bottom, is located diametrically opposite below the line of intersection between the belly and the bottom of the vessel. The pictorial decoration covers almost the entire surface of the piece, and is organized into horizontal registers. The inside of the hem and the upper part of the neck are also painted in black: the first with a zigzag frieze obtained in savings, the second with double festoons with intersecting arches. On the outside, the neck (handles aside) is uniformly painted red ochre; this color predominates over the total surface, almost replacing the color of the biscuit as the background of the container.
