After the potter formed this jar from clay coils, he consolidated them by striking a wooden paddle against the wall, supported inside by a wooden anvil. The paddle-and-anvil technique formed a sturdy vessel light in weight for its size. The paddle's carved grooves created the jar's distinctive texture.
