DescriptionThis vessel, classified as Tubular Jar IA1d, is made of thin glass with a transparent natural green tint and translucent pale green handles. The exact color and fabric cannot be fully determined due to weathering. The tubular body has a slight bulge at the shoulder and broadens toward a flat base with a central depression. Two angular coil handles are attached to the shoulder and folded downward/inward and upward/outward just below the rim. A pontil mark cannot be detected due to weathering.
