It has a tulip-like shape with a wide neck. A handle connects the neck to the middle part of the vessel. The base is narrow and flat. Three horizontal lines are drawn on the lower part of the neck. In the center, six series of concentric circles, symbolizing the sun, are depicted. The Komariv culture is an archaeological culture dated to the late Bronze Age, widespread in the forest-steppe zone of Right-Bank Ukraine and northern Moldova. The name comes from a burial mound excavated by T. Sulimirskі in 1934–36 near the village of Komariv in Ivano-Frankivsk Region.
