 This is a double-lobed jar with a slightly sloping shoulder. The clay is rolled up and molded, and is well tempered, giving the vessel a reddish-brown color. The natural glaze overlaid on top of it flowed down to the lower half of the body, which turned dark green almost black due to kiln alteration, and part of the shoulder turned white.
