This rounded pot with two small loop handles near the mouth rim was made with coils of clay which were joined and paddle-beaten for added strength. It is decorated with incised motif and cord-mark impressions, made by a cord-wrapped paddle on the surface of the pot.Pots and other objects found at the Dong Marum site have been dated as over 2,700 years old. The elaborate designs are a good indication that these were probably ritual or ‘prestige’ vessels and used as burial jars to contain either food or objects for the deceased in their afterlife.
