Remarks

Measures in cm. Small jar from T32 shrine. As of coding, it is incomplete with neck and rim missing, but these parts may be in the general ceramics bags. Vessel is largely biconical with decoration on the shoulder. Uppermost visible ornamentation is a pair of incised circumferential lines. Below these is a combed wavy line with five lines. Below this is a single incised circumferential line. Burnishing on the exterior is particularly glossy and jar overall has the appearance of skilled production perhaps marking it as a table or serving ware.
