Description
This gray-green bottle from the 3rd–4th century CE has a flat circular body and a long neck. A single handle arches from the shoulder to the rim and bends slightly at the top. Thread decoration includes five spirals above a zigzag design. Coils are also applied below the rim and at the neck's base. One side of the body is slightly indented. The base is rounded, so the bottle cannot stand.
