Distinctive Features

The general form has a long cylindrical body with two small handles on the side and a flaring rim. Maña (1951) distinguished two types, labelled C1 and C2 but van der Werff (1977-78) has reviewed the evidence and divided the form into three categories: his Type 2 has a rim similar to Type 1 but shorter and less flaring. Handles are attached on the upper third part of the body. The body is terminated by a hollow spike. This type corresponds to the Martin-Kilcher (1999) form B and to the Ramón (1995) Type T-7.5.
