Rond aardewerken vat met nauwe hals, met de versiering van een ingekrast patroon, mogelijk fruitvormen. De onderste helft van het vat is glad. De aantrekkelijke modellering van het vat verhult het doel ervan: dit is een vroege brandbom!
Récipient globulaire en terre cuite, au col étroit, décoré d'un motif gravé, peut-être en forme de fruit. La moitié inférieure du récipient est lisse. Le modelé séduisant de ce récipient est en contradiction avec sa fonction : une bombe incendiaire !
Ein kugelrundes Tongefäß mit schmalem Hals, das mit einem Ritzmuster, vielleicht in Gestalt einer Frucht, verziert ist. Das Gefäß ist in der unteren Hälfte glatt. Die anziehende Gestalt widerspricht dem Zweck des Gefäßes als frühe Brandbombe!
Vaso globulare con il collo stretto decorato con un motivo inciso a forma di frutto. Il vaso è liscio sulla parte inferiore. Il modello travisa il vero scopo del vaso che costituisce un antica bomba!
Vaso globular, em cerâmica, com pescoço estreito e decorado com padrao gravado, possívelmente com forma de fruta. O vaso está polido na metade inferior. A modelaçao atraente induz em erro a sua finalidade, tratando-se de uma bomba de fogo antiga!
Cerámica globular con cuello estrecho, decorada con un dibujo inciso, posiblemente con forma de fruto. La mitad inferior del recipiente es lisa. El atractivo modelado contradice el propósito del recipiente, una antigua bomba incendiaria.
