The jug has a small, quite thick handle. The edges of the jug are rounded and widen towards the bottom, becoming more rounded. The color is gray. Lypytsya culture existed between the 1st and 3rd centuries AD in the territories of Halychyna, and its name is derived from the village of Lypytsya in Ivano-Frankivsk Region, following excavations conducted by Y. Kopernytski in the late 19th century. Significant contributions to the study of this culture were made by K. Hadaczek, I. Sveshnikov, V. Tsyhylyk, L. Krushelnytska, V. Baran, and L. Vakulenko. The main occupations were agriculture and animal husbandry. Among crafts, iron production stands out, evidenced by the large number of iron-smelting furnaces, and they also engaged in weaving and pottery. The dominant burial rite was cremation, but many inhumations oriented towards the north have also been found.
