An Abu Ramla granary made of a square base raised on wooden posts and a conical wattle-and-daub body. Mud decoration is made of horizontal and vertical lugs with impressed dots on the lower half of the granary's body and two knobs/breasts (kiw) on the right upper part. The bundles of wild grass straw on the top are to make the granary roof
