Object Description
An Ancient Persian terracotta jar featuring a globular body leading to a short, slightly everted neck. The lower half of the vessel remains undecorated, whilst the upper half is richly adorned with a register of segmented ovals, depicted on contrasting diagonals, that alternate with black circles. Two continuous bands frame the register from the bottom, whilst black and maroon bands enclose the register from above. Two additional black bands and a series of black v shapes complete the design around the vessel’s neck and rim.
