A spouted jar with incurved-recurved sides. Incurved side is gadrooned, and was probably formed by pressing a finger continuously around the vessel. The neck is slightly outcurved and is 8.4 cm high. The rim is thickened on the exterior and has a rounded lip. The spout is located 4.9 cm from the rim and is 8.5 cm high. Diameter of the spout orifice is 1.4 cm. The diameter of the base is 10 cm. The slip on the vessel is red (10R 5/8) and light red (10R 6/8) and was applied to the exterior and to the interior of the neck. There are no traces of slip on the flat base, but this could be due to erosion. Fire clouding is present near the base and ranges in color from gray (7.5R 5/0) to dark gray (2.5YR 4/8).
