A dark brown and reddish orange ceramic vessel features a bulbous body narrowing to a small base and a short, wide neck with a thick, rounded rim. Four thick, small loop handles sit symmetrically around the shoulder. A glossy dark brown glaze marked by horizontal ridges and vertical streaks covers the upper portion. Near the bottom, the texture switches to a matte reddish orange, revealing the natural earthenware underneath.
