This is an uncovered short-necked jar with a long neck and a slightly outward opening. There is one sunken line in the center of the neck and two sunken lines in the center of the body. The potter’s wheel was made of sandy clay with a high iron content.
The walls of the vessel are extremely thin, and the potter used a fast and skillful wheel. The vessel is well finished with a dark green natural glaze on the shoulder and a running line on the body.
