Jar with three knobs c. late 5th - early 6th century

This anonymous, hand-built ceramic jar from the late 5th to early 6th century features three small, rounded knobs along the rim, likely used for carrying or securing a lid. The vessel's rounded form and simple construction are typical of pottery from the period, showcasing the practical artistry of early ceramic production. The earthenware jar, currently housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a testament to the craftsmanship and ingenuity of ancient potters.
