 This medium-sized, wide-mouthed jar with a long, sloping shoulder and long body has a mouth rim that is almost like a double mouth rim, with the rim folded back in a rounded and protruding band style. The base has a slightly reddish brown color with feldspar. The body is made of rolled-up corded clay, and the body is piled up in three stages, but it has an irregular shape. The shoulders are covered with thick carved cypress fences. The firing is good, with a dark green natural glaze covering the shoulder and half of the body.
