Spherical vessel, unknown northern Mesopotamian workshop, Early Jazira III period ca. 2600–ca. 2350 BC / Early Dynastic III period. A spherical pear-shaped, tapering body with rounded bottom, strongly sloping shoulders passing into a low, wide neck ending with a thickened rim formed as a wide rectangular strip whose rounded outer edge protrudes above the inner surface of the neck, creating a lowered step for a lid. On the lower part of the body a pottery mark was incised before firing: two long lines intersecting at the bottom at an acute angle, forming a deformed Y-shaped mark. Terracotta/clay vessel from Al-Jazira Khabur basin, Tell Rad Shakra northeastern Syria.
