This small, handmade ceramic vessel—commonly referred to as a jarrito—features a rounded base, short neck, and flared rim. The surface is unglazed and fired to a matte light-brown finish, with minor surface irregularities and a single pierced hole at the shoulder, likely for stringing or attaching the jar to another object. The interior shows dark sooting or staining, suggesting either brief use or residue from firing. The vessel was formed by hand and fired at low temperatures, typical of utilitarian or folk ceramics.Made/Created
