Jar-shaped vessels often had a small mouth and an enlarged body, and examples are known to have been used for storage. The function of small pieces such as this one cannot be determined, but small jars were also made in many regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mouth bears old losses and the rim is irregular.
