A globular amphora has two handles in the form of anthropomorphic (human) schematic heads. Heads are surrounded by seven circular piercings that together form a "nimbus". The vessel is decorated with dark brown horizontal and longitudinal painted stripes filled with a grid. The image of people on pottery is characteristic of ancient agricultural tribes and is part of their cult. Vessels with anthropomorphic elements were part of the libation ceremony in honor of the gods.
