Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a globular body, tapered neck, rounded rim, 1 hollow handle extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. No molded/modeled additions. There is a hole in the handle. The vessel is painted with geometric and curvilinear designs in white/tan, orange/red, brown, and black. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior.
