Description

Black. Flattened base; tapering body; flaring neck, one loop handle shoulder to neck, lizard opposite handle on shoulder.

Narrow-necked jar/bottle with an ovate body, flaring neck, rounded rim, 2 strap and effigy-anthropomorphic handles extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. The vessel has a modeled animal as one of the two handles. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior. The vessel was likely fired in a reducing atmosphere as the surface is black and the interior is gray in color. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "372."
