A fine Nabatean redware vessel featuring a globular body, resting on a flat circular base. A short neck rises from the centre of the vessel which then flares out into a wide bowl shaped mouth with a small circular opening. A flat handle, with two incised grooves, is joined from the rim of the vessel to the rounded shoulder. A small tapered spout has been attached to the side near the handle. Around the lower half of the vessel and over the flat base are irregular, concentric, circular grooves.

Date: Circa 1st century BC – 1st century AD
