Jar

Mouth, wing lip and jar neck. The lip is decorated with vegetal motifs of palmettes, facing and intertwined, both on the wing and on the edge. The neck has a smooth upper section and a lower section, before joining the body, decorated with two bands of vertical lines incised on them and framed by incised wavy lines. At the base of the neck it has a band of pointed arches filled with stamped acanthus.

Without a direct connection to the neck, several wall fragments appeared that also present stamped decoration, and that due to similarity of motifs could be part of the same set. It is common for these elaborate motifs to form part of jars with fin-shaped handles, however our specimen does not present such appendages nor does it have any type of glaze.

A similar specimen appeared in the Almohad abandonment of the Alcáçova do Castelo in Mértola (Portugal). According to Aranzazu Mendívil's research, there are multiple parallels from the Almohad period throughout the Andalusian territory.
