Zaragoza, Spain

Kernos with a vessel that has two truncated cones in the center, a medium carination, and four kotyliskoi (small vases with a foot). The kotyliskoi are arranged two by two symmetrically at the top of the central vessel with which they are connected through deep perforations. The main vessel has a concave, beveled rim, a neck with internal edging, a flat base, and decoration featuring a band with seven or eight horizontal channels that are interrupted by the kotyliskoi.

Once fractured, it was exposed to a heat source and some fragments have been thermally altered.

It was used for religious funeral customs.
