Jug
Not on view
This ceramic jug has been reconstructed from several sherds. It has a globular body, a flat base, a high neck and straight rim, with one handle connecting the shoulder to the rim. It is made of a red clay. It was excavated at Yarim Tepe in northeastern Iran, six miles south of the modern town of Gonbad-e Kavus. Yarim Tepe was a small settlement, inhabited from the Neolithic to the Parthian period, with many interruptions. This jug probably dates to the late Iron Age.
