Jug. Culture: Sasanian. Dimensions: 8 in. (20.32 cm). Date: ca. 3rd-7th century A.D..Plain unglazed ceramics, like this jar, are the most common type of pottery found during the Sasanian period. These plain vessels were part of the everyday household materials. Ceramics during this period were mostly wheel-made. One handle is preserved and across from the handle a small indented spout is visible on the rim. The jar was excavated from a house at the site of Ma'aridh II in the Ctesiphon area.The city of Ctesiphon was located on the east bank of the Tigris River, 20 miles (32 km) south of modern Baghdad in Iraq. It flourished for more than 800 years as the capital of the Parthians and the Sasanians, the last two dynasties to rule the ancient Near East before the Islamic conquest in the seventh century. Systematic excavations in the Ctesiphon area were undertaken by an expedition in 1928-29 sponsored by the German Oriental Society (Deutsche Orient-Gesellschaft). The Metropolitan Museum of

The inscription may be an abbreviation of "Architheoros," a title referring to the priest of a sacred embassy, and thus may allude to the vocation of the deceased whose remains were once contained within this vessel.

Carinated Stone Jar with Rope Pattern ca. 1550-1458 B.C.
