This wide-bodied jar has a slightly outward-curved mouth with a strong shoulder. The design is a tan arabesque pattern painted in thin lines in the center of the body. The large blank spaces at the top and bottom are also indicative of an older style. The iron glaze is a reddish brown with many black patches, and the shoulders have a yellowish brown color.
