Very wide ovoid jar with a curved neck and a flat lip, which is adorned with four (or five?) protuberances. The clay is orange and coarse (Nile clay and organic temper) and has been polished. The impression of the potter's rope is still visible around the equatorial diametre of the vessel. The neck is decorated with incised lines, both straight and wavy. A potter's mark was incised on the inside of the neck before firing; it resembles a nefer sign. (''beautiful, good, perfect'').

Jarre ovoïde de grande taille avec col cintré et lèvre plate ornée de quatre (cinq?) protubérances. La pâte, orangée, est grossière (argile du Nil et dégraissant végétal), et lissée. L'empreinte de la corde utilisée par le potier est encore visible sur le diamètre équatorial. Le col est décoré de lignes incisées droites et ondulées. Une marque de potier, gravée avant cuisson à l'intérieur du col, rappelle le signe nefer ("beau, bon, parfait").
