This jar, whose typology is attested in Egypt but also largely documented in the Near Eastern world, has a simple, perfectly globular shape. The body is provided with a small neck and a thick lip.
This turned bowl is made of beige ceramic covered with a red slip; decorated patterns are painted on the inner wall of the vessel only, with thick lines and in blackish brown color.
Vessels in the shape of dates, which look very realistic with the vertical grooves imitating the wrinkles of the dried fruit, are among the most famous and popular glass vases of the early Imperial period.
