Ceramic pieces from the Angkor period tend to be gray or black
in colour. A number have a glazed finish. Small narrow-necked
vases called ‘khourch’ have been found at burial sites.
They usually contain human remains.
During this period, potters used wheels to produce ceramics.
This jar is decorated with rings around the lip, neck and foot
and four to six incised lines forming upside-down U’s, like
festoons, between the neck and shoulder.
A rounded bottom, flared lip, long neck and colour are typical
of Angkor period ceramic production.
