    The Barlow Collection

    The small jar is light in weight, the straight sides sharply angled towards a short rim and a shallow foot. The shoulder is surrounded by incised grooves and four strips of clay are applied down the sides, incised with diagonal stripes. The shallow domed cover has a pointed bud-shaped knob and an incised groove around its edge. The light brown body is covered with a white slip and a transparent glaze which on the outside has been stained by contact with red earth and has remained brighter on the inside. The glaze has largely flaked off at the base, and the footring is unglazed.
