- Stoneware jar with natural ash glaze and rounded lid. Along the widest horizontal stretch is an incised circle-and-dot design. A design of concentric circles also loops around just as the rounded curve of the lid begins to flatten into a plateau on which a cintamani style knob rests.
- Subject Matter
- This jar is designed to hold relics of the deceased. The knob at the top of the lid is in the shape of a cintamani ("wish-granting jewel"), which could have also had significance in its function.
