This is a rare example of a wide-mouthed four-lobed jar from which the ears and base have been removed.
It differs from the four-lobed jar only in the thicker oral part and the molding that continues from the shoulder. It has a grayish-white color with a soft clay flavor, and cannot be described as Seto in general. The clay is rolled up and molded, with prominent folds in the center. It is thought to have been made around the middle of the 15th century.
