Kitchen pot, unknown northern Mesopotamian workshop; Early Jazira III period ca. 2600–ca. 2350 BC. A kitchen pot with an egg-shaped belly and a rounded bottom. In the upper part the walls bend slightly inwards, forming narrow shoulders that give rise to a low, cylindrical, wide neck with a straight, slightly tilted spout. Two slightly thickened horizontal crescent-shaped handles are attached on opposite edges. Outer walls are intentionally roughened at the bottom up to half the vessel’s height, while above they are carefully polished. Traces of soot are visible on the bottom and slightly above. Found at Tell Rad Shakra northeastern Syria. Vessel; height 20.5 cm, width 20.7 cm., A rounded, bulbous earthenware vessel with a slightly flared rim, showing an uneven surface with patches of brown, tan, dark brown, and muted black; the pot has a weathered, rough texture with visible discoloration and darker smudges concentrated toward the lower half, and the background is a flat gray.
