| Description | (from Betancourt, 1983) Wide mouthed jug, globular, with cylindrical neck, slight flaring spout, one vertical handle with round cross section, and two lugs as handles on the sides. Calcareous tufa. Restored from fragments. Some pieces missing. Found with MS4885, MS4761, and MS4592. The banding and the graceful shape combine to make this an extremely attractive piece. A very rare type in stone, it has a close counterpart in both shape and material from Tomb VI at Mochlos. |
