Description
black
Narrow-necked jar/bottle (aríbalo, aryballos) with an ovate body, hyperboloid neck, missing rim, 2 strap handles on the body, and a conical (aribaloid) base. The vessel has a protrusion on the shoulder with two vertical incised lines at the center. 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. No other numbers are visible on the object.
