Jug of the Base-Ring I Ware
- 1600–1450 B.C.
- The body of the jug is apple-shaped with a concave foot, whereas the round neck ends in a wide open spout. The handle attaches to the upper shoulder of the body and runs away from the neck and bends almost horizontally onto the upper neck. As is typical of the style, the vessel is covered with several ridged bands, which are scratched so that they are imitating the shape of ropes. The split band forms a pattern and ends in loops. Another loop wraps around the base of the neck and runs loose towards the back. Two more straps span the neck at the point where the handle starts. The handle itself has two lips on its sides.
