This full-bellied jug has a broad base and a slender cylindrical neck onto which a broad disk-shaped rim is set. The neck's opening is narrow. An angular curved spout has been attached to the shoulder for pouring out the liquid. The ewer is made of a reddish brown silt coated with a red slip, which has been polished.
