 This water jar is of a general shape with a flat bottom. The mouth rim is double-rimmed, which is rare for a water vessel. The design is in the inka (sealed flower) technique, with petals on the upper rim of the shoulder and a simple arabesque design stitched in the center of the body. The ash glaze has been stabilized by the addition of feldspar and has a slightly dark green color with some whitening.
