This heaping vase with lid has a jeweled knob, and is probably the largest vase of this type known to date. It was buried in the back of a side cave stone chamber together with a large long-necked vase with a stand (Fig. 144), and was probably made especially for funerary purposes. It is white in hard clay with a light green natural glaze on the upper surface of the lid.
