Small jug fired in an oxidising atmosphere, with a reddish fabric and fine inclusions. It has a globular body and annular ledge at the base. The neck is cylindrical with convergent curved walls and, between this and the body, there is a filter inside. The lip is pointed. It has two handles with a circular cross-section with a button at the top. The decoration was made with manganese and copper oxide, with the technique of dry partial dry string and is situated on the neck and belly. On the neck, the decorative motif consists of three parallel borders with lion's teeth and, on the belly, it is a braided band.
