| Description | Black, See 31021 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. The vessel has a small square protrusion on the shoulder and a raised hunchback protrusion in the body opposite that. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior. The vessel was likely fired in a reducing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is gray and buff in color. The catalogue number is written on the interior of neck.
