narrower at top and bottom than in the middle, which has a concave curvature
(sorry if the description isn't the clearest). And these jars would be
closed not with corks (the use of cork for stoppers is very late, if I
recall correctly), but with a piece of parchment tied down with a cord over
the projecting lip of the top of the jar. >>
Great info! On the same subject, my husband has been wondering for some time
about wine containers - was wine stored only in casks, or in some sort of
bottle or jar, and how would these be sealed?
