Globular vessel, unknown Northern Mesopotamian workshop, Early Jazira III period ca. 2600–ca. 2350 BC. A globular vessel whose body rises for 3/4 of its height into sloping arms, from which a low, narrow neck emerges, terminating in a thickened, flared rim. The transition from the body to the arms is emphasized by a shallow, wide horizontal groove. c. 2600–ca. 2350 BC; Early Dynastic III period. From Northern Mesopotamia Khabur basin, Tell Jassa el Gharbi Northeastern Syria. Vessel for oils and ointments; vice-free. Height 10 cm, diameter 9.7 cm., A rounded, bulbous ceramic vessel with a short neck and a flared rim sits against a plain background; the vessel's surface is rough and weathered with a textured, cracked appearance showing a range of beige and light brown tones with small patches of darker brown and hints of pale off-white, and the background is a muted gray-blue.
