Description
This jug, of rough workmanship, has a globular body, expanded on the shoulder and tapered towards the narrow and flat base. It is provided with a wide, slightly curved neck, connected by a ribbon-like loop with enlarged ends to the shoulder of the vessel. The external surface is covered with semi-erased imprints of cords, which create wide horizontal and oblique grooves visible especially on the neck and under the maximum diameter of the belly. At the top of the pot body, vertical, sloping lines, grouped into groups of four or more parallel lines, were scratched onto the raw earth before firing. Similar vertical streaks also affect the loop, which has a darker color than the rest of the vessel.
