One side of the pot is quite flat, flanked by two loops and on the opposite side a vertical nose is found. Through these three loops string a rope, thus making it quite easy to carry on the back. The pot is made of red pottery with fine clay and decorated with various colored pattern.
It looks quite amazing. I did not know that ancient people could make painted pottery. Also, with three little holes they could carry this jar easily.
Storage Jar with Herakles Attacking a Centaur, Greek, Athens, about 530–520 B.C. The J. Paul Getty Museum
This storage jar is one of my favorite in ths journal. Even though this jar was made long time ago, this jar looks beautiful and amazing. I like the black glaze and the images in the middle of the jar. I am sure about that story but I can see the Kentauros and other people try to harm him. This jar is really nice for decorative jar also storage jar.
'Storage jar decorated with mountain goats'This historic storage jar looks normal but the mountain goat looks really nice. I am curious about why people who made this jar drew this image on the jar.
A MARTIN BROTHERS POTTERY JAR WITH COVER . Martin Brothers, London, England, circa 1900
This jar is made about 1900. I really love this jar's lid. It feels like palace of fishes. Image of fishes on the jar looks like real and color is also great. I guess that artist used slips for color. I think that this jar is brilliant work.
