Terracotta jug
Unknown Artist
This type of jug, with a long, narrow neck and funnel spout, most likely was used to hold perfumed oils. The shape and decoration were probably inspired by Tell-el-Yahudieh jugs. The shape is the most common of Black Slip III Ware, which, with its thin walls and metallic quality, is a precursor of Base Ring Ware pottery of the Late Cypriot period.
