Notes
The piece is a beautiful gray ceramic storage jar. The polygonal body of the jar is decorated with single and multiple geometric lines. It seems that this decoration was executed before the jar was fired. It appears from this decoration that the jar was a valuable item. The jar has a triangular neck, and two handles, each shaped like a ring. Its circular base was found broken but was restored. The jar was made of two separate parts that were connected together by pressure. An additional piece in the form of a channel can be seen between the neck of the jar and its body.
