This is an unusual jar with a short neck and a rounded tip. The brownish-brown surface of the vessel is covered with a yellowish-white sesame paste natural glaze from the neck to the body, which is darkened on both sides. In terms of the size of the mouth and neck, it might be placed in a bottle rather than a jar.
