Globular vessel, unknown Northern Mesopotamian workshop, Early Jazira III period ca. 2600–ca. 2350 BC. A globular vessel whose body rises to about 3/4 height into sloping arms, from which a low, narrow neck emerges, terminating in a thickened, flared rim. The transition from body to arms is emphasized by a shallow, wide horizontal groove. Early Dynastic III period ca. 2600–ca. 2350 BC. Function: vessel for oils and ointments; vice-free vessel. Origin: Northern Mesopotamia Khabur basin, Tell Jassa el Gharbi, Northeastern Syria. Material: ceramic vessel. Dimensions: height 10 cm, width 9.7 cm., A rounded, weathered clay vessel with a narrow neck and flared rim sits against a solid background. The vessel's surface is rough and uneven with patches of lighter and darker tones in shades of beige, tan, brown, and gray, showing areas of wear, pitting, and small deposits. The rim appears slightly irregular and textured, and the body shows subtle variations in color and texture, including a few ...
