Jar

Daggerboard or jar with a globular-trunk-conical body, a strangled neck that gives way to a rounded exvased edge, an exvasated triangular horizontal lip, and a slightly convex base. It is equipped with two handles with central grooves that start at the shoulder and end at the belly.

It is made in oxidizing firing, with pinkish ceramic paste that contains a whitish degreaser measuring between 3 and 5 mm. On the outside it has a comb incised decoration of wavy bands between horizontal bands in the upper third of the body. The base retains traces of an ashy patina.

According to research by Aránzazu Mendívil, this is the type that most frequently appears in the Caesaraugusta theater, also documented on the Paseo de la Independencia in Zaragoza in levels of abandonment of the suburb and in one of the wells with taifa chronology materials of the Cathedral of La Seo. In Cercadilla (Córdoba), some fragments of jar mouths from levels from the 9th century remind us of this specimen.

The estimated capacity for this daggerboard is 16 liters.
