 This jar has a slightly distorted shape with a stout shoulder. The body is bent in five sections, giving a clear indication of the molding technique used. The body is bent in five stages, and the way in which the cord was made by winding up the body to a certain width is clearly visible. Although there are some feldspar pellets, the clay is dense and well-fired, giving the vessel a brownish-brown color and a smooth surface. It is thinly made, with a dark green natural glaze running from the shoulder to part of the body.
