Physical Description
This reddish brown earthenware jar has a globular body and long, widely flared neck. The below surface of the body is adorned with beaten parallel line.
Subject Matter
The reddish brown earthenware started to be made in BC 2C. It was also made in BC 3C with the dark grayish-blue stoneware. But it decreased considerably in BC 4C because of the rise of the grayish-blue stoneware. It was usually made by the use of potter’s wheel and was designed with the vertical line. The difference of the reddish brown earthenware and the grayish-blue stoneware is the difference of the degree when firing.
