This jar is taller in proportion to its diameter than Z54; it differs from the latter also in its neck which splays slightly outward; and in place of the small upper handles it has high up on the shoulder two long narrrow horizontal lugs, doubly pierced.

Decoration: | The upper part of the surface is coated with a wash of thin light-brown glaze. (Blegen, Zygouries, pg 85-86) | |
