Large flat-bottomed jar, with a strongly carinated body, and a small broad neck ending in a rolled lip. It bears a geometrical pattern of lines and points painted in dark red around the carination, the upper middle of the waist, the base of the neck, the neck itself, and on the lip. This vessel was the only object found in an otherwise thoroughly robbed tomb, and had been used a considerable amount before it was buried, as shown by the traces of string and wear on the lower part of the waist.
