This is a simple clay jar tied with twisted wire. The wire crisscrosses the whole surface, making a tight net. The jar’s body has dark brown and reddish-brown colors, with a few thin lines carved into it. On those lines, a snake-like pattern is painted in a darker shade. The wire wrapping looks practical—maybe to hold it together or make it stronger. The jar’s neck is thick and has some blackened spots, like it was heated again after it was made. If you like this kind of coiled wire design, look up serpent in art to see how snakes appear in different cultures.
