This 5th-century lidded jar with handle, made of terracotta, is a fine example of ancient pottery. Its simple, rounded form and utilitarian design suggest its use for storing food or other household items. The jar's single handle, crafted in a curved shape, allows for easy carrying. This artifact provides valuable insight into the daily life and craftsmanship of the people living in the 5th century.
