 This is a decorated Sue ware with various statues pasted on the shoulders of a jar with a lid and base. Unlike the previous three examples, there are no buttresses. Four small jars are placed directly on the shoulders, and a figure, a bird, a dog, and a bird are pasted between them.
 The panels are missing. The figures and animals are extremely poorly rendered, and the animal species are barely discernible.
