Plain

Narrow-necked jar/bottle with an oblong body, cylindrical neck, rounded rim, no handles, and a flat base. No molded/modeled additions. The neck is painted red with black double lines around the top and bottom. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange in color. The vessel is smooth on the interior. The catalogue number is written in black ink. Black ink on the bottom of the vessel reads "1077."
