This brown-glazed jar originated from the Go Cay Me kiln and belongs to the Champa ceramic tradition; it is currently housed and displayed at the Binh Dinh Provincial Museum (now the Gia Lai Provincial Museum).
The jar features a tall profile with a rounded body and a high, constricted neck; it has sloping shoulders, a bulbous body that tapers toward the base, and five vertical lugs on the shoulder. It lacks a foot ring and has a relatively flat base. The ceramic body is thick and sturdy, resulting from high-temperature firing. The entire exterior is glazed, while the base remains unglazed.
A distinctive feature of the artifact is its underglaze relief ornamentation. The shoulder is decorated with five open-mouthed dragons interspersed with bands of raised dots encircling the body, lending the piece a vigorous and dynamic appearance.
This brown-glazed jar was handcrafted using the potter's wheel, combined with relief decoration, glazing, and high-temperature firing. It could serve as a vessel for liquids or as a decorative object, while also acting as a valuable resource for studying the production techniques, decorative art, and material culture of the Champa people.
