Description

Jug decorated with Christian symbols (a crux ansata and a bunch of grapes) and a dipinto. This decoration is distinct from the original one and was realised after the burning of the jug. The jug belongs to the local oasean production, probably centred around ancient Hibis (Ballet 2004: 224). This type of container was used for wine transportation.
