Jar with short neck
Vessels of this type were used in everyday life but also served as mortuary vessels and were buried in tombs. This jar, hand-formed using a coil-and-wheel technique, is lightweight for its size. Impressions of the cord-wrapped paddle used to shape are visible on the surface. Its light- and dark-gray tones were formed during the firing process.
