A small grey pottery water container with wide mouth, slightly concave base and protruding shoulders. The shoulders are decorated with zig-zag simulated weave pattern and applied with three horizontal S-shaped ornaments while the base is carved with a three stroke H-like incision. The container is covered with a primitive brownish green iron oxide glaze with an accidental phosphatic splash caused by wood ash splashing onto one shoulder during firing.
