Marlik was one of the most significant archaeological sites of Ancient Iran, to which a wide range of elaborate, elite burial objects, made of varied media have been attributed. Among those burial offerings, terracotta jugs, with slender, spindle-shaped spouts, were the most represented objects that have been extensively found in numerous elite tombs. This object might have been used as a pouring vessel, utilised by the elite classes of the Iron Age Iran.
