Description
An account of the resource
These types of jugs typically have a decorative figure on top of the jug which would have helped identify a more specific date of the jug, but for unknown purposes this jug does not have a figurine.
Medium :Terracotta
Dimensions: h. 9 1/2 in. (24.1 cm)
Classification: Vases
Although there could be a variety of reasons as to why this jug does not have the decorative figure (such as it being dropped or some other form of accident), it is possible that this jug never was created with an ornate figurine. If this reasoning is true, it might actually indicate that the owner of this jug may come from a lower level of wealth because they did not have the resources to buy a jug with an ornate figurine. On the other side, it may also be that the owner saw no use in the figurine and simply pursued a jug for its functionality versus its aesthetic. Overall, what this artifact does indicate is that because it was common for citizens to have ornate figures on their day-to-day objects, it is strange that such a figure does not appear on this object.
