The ovoid body shows grooves on its lowest part traces of turning and rests on a ring-shaped foot. Outer surface brown and burnished. Made of A4 marl clay with limestone inclusions. Shoulders bear faint black-painted decoration: two arcades of parallel arches separated by a row of dots, arranged symmetrically one arcade between the handles. At the highest bulge of the body, below the damaged handle, there is an irregular concentration of a black substance, likely bitumen used to seal or repair the wall. Function: vessel/bottle.
