## Image Caption

This [pottery](https://www.worldhistory.org/pottery/) jar was handmade and painted. It is carinated and stemmed with four equidistant vertically perforated lugs on the carination. Ninevite 5 Period, 3000-2750 BCE. From [Nineveh](https://www.worldhistory.org/nineveh/), Northern [Mesopotamia](https://www.worldhistory.org/Mesopotamia/), Iraq. (The British Museum, London). The period's name, Ninevite 5, came after the 5th level in a deep excavation trench at Nineveh, Northern Mesopotamia, where it belonged to a distinctive [culture](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/culture/). This was partly contemporary with the [Early Dynastic](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Early_Dynastic/) Period in the south. Ceramic vessels were decorated with either painted or incised designs.
