This medium-sized earthenware jar has three handles that rest on the upper part of the body. The neck is very high and the wall slightly flared. The neck is decorated with a five-pronged incised comb pattern, creating alternating vertical lines that frame a wave. This kitchenware is made of a light-coloured porous clay and must have contained liquids for cooking, such as water or milk.
