Jar with cinnabar colored arabesque

This jar was made by turning the potter's wheel clockwise. The slightly distorted body expands at the shoulder and becomes narrower towards the round base. The wide-open mouth curls inward. Glaze has been applied on both the inside and outside, producing a glossy pale blue. The arabesque pattern in cinnabar color is clearly apparent on the shoulder. The base clay can be seen at the edge of the base.
