Little Bottle

This small, gray, ceramic bottle with a spherical body and slightly everted neck was made by hand. It has two small, vertical, ring-shaped handles, symmetrically opposite each other, with a flattened curve. Equidistant from these, there is a molded decoration with two circular bumps (like buttons in relief), which are on opposite sides of the bottle. This type of bottle and decoration were common in the Neolithic Age. This piece comes from the Chaves Cave (Cueva de Chaves) in Bastarás, Huesca. This was a site of great archeological interest due to the artifacts that were found there in a series of excavations that took place between the 1980s and its destruction in 2007.
