Ca. 100-200 AD A pottery jar featuring a globular body that tapers gently to a low ring foot and through a rounded shoulder to a neck with an everted and pronounced rim. The shape of the vessel is a testament to the technical mastery and aesthetic sensibilities of Roman potters, who were renowned for their skill in creating elegant and functional vessels.
