The jar boasts of exceptional artistic quality with the body showing traces of rough brushing. The jagged surface displays liberally portrayed scroll patterns using iron powder on white clay made into a roughly shaped body. The simplistic scroll patterns make one feel as if one is looking at a modern abstract painting.
