Notes
The object is a bowl made of blackish-gray pottery. The bowl has thick walls and a narrow spout with a diameter of 3 cm. The bowl is decorated with almond-like shapes divided into nine parts by straight lines. Researchers have different opinions about the function that such bowls performed. Some of them said that it was filled with precious liquids such as mercury and rose water, while others said that it was filled with oil and used as bombs to be launched at the enemy. Most likely, such vessels served more than one purpose.
