A sturdy, well-potted stoneware jar, with a spherical bottom, a sharply angled shoulder, and a wide slightly flaring mouth. The decoration consists of four bands of combed wavy lines: one at the waist, one at the shoulder, and two on the neck. The neck bands are bordered by three ridges, a double ridge topmost.<br /> <br /> This is a blue-gray, long-necked, high-fired stoneware jar with a round bottom. A horizontal ridge marks the boundary between the jar&rsquo;s round body and its neck. The steeply rising neck is divided into three sections by a set of two horizontal ridges on the upper part and a single horizontal ridge on the lower part. The central and lower parts of the neck have been decorated using a six-tooth comb to create a wave design. The upper body and the inner and outer surfaces of the neck retain traces of rough rotation and water smoothing. The upper part of the body slopes inwards at an angle sharp enough to form an edge. The surface above and below this edge are decorated with wave design
