Bottle

Black; 2 large heads (of birds?) opposite on shoulder

Narrow-necked jar/bottle (aríbalo, aryballos) with an ovate body, hyperboloid neck, flared rim with lugs, 2 strap handles on the body, and a conical (aribaloid) base. There is a modeled knob at the base of the neck and two hollow protrusions from the shoulder with three smaller conical protrusions. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior. The vessel was likely fired in a reducing atmosphere with localized oxidation as the ceramic paste is gray in color. There are wide burnish lines present. Evidence of usewear includes surface attrition on the bottom/base. The catalogue number is written in black ink. Black ink on the bottom of the base reads: " 2829."
