Description
The banding around this jar’s upper portion is an unusual feature for Yayoi pottery, which usually has a flat surface. It was likely made in western Japan, between Seto in Aichi prefecture and Kyushu, the southernmost main island. It is not believed to be a cooking vessel, but may have been used for storage. The ash spots occurred naturally during firing.
