Jar with short neck

5th–6th century

Not on view

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.
