Funerary urn of faience. Rome

This urn is of a similar shape to others found in Cádiz, which were also made from the same material. It has a globular body, cylindrical neck which has a flat overlying rim at the top, from which two handles jut out and rest at the shoulders. It is covered by a thick vitreous layer, both on the outside and inside. In spite of the bad condition in which it was found, and thanks to ; excellent restoration work, its decoration can be seen perfectly, with vine leaves and bunches of grapes using black sgraffito on a turquoise background. The decoration of the mouth, consisting of black triangles, was not well preserved.
