Small perfume jar of classic shape, with a convex lid with a button-shaped stopper on the underside. The rim is flared and the bottom is thick.Traces of black kohl are still visible on the interior. Stone jars are seldom found in the tombs of group A. This rather crude specimen could be the work of a local artisan.
