Jerusalem, Jewish Quarter, second century BCE contexts (Geva 2003: 127, pI. 5.1, JG I). Beth-Zur, characteristic of the Hellenistic period (Sellers 1933:pls.

Description: : Large jug with rounded body, wide vertical neck and out-folded modeled rim. A ridged handle is attached from rim to shoulder" ; sometimes it is covered with red slip.
