It's just a jar.

[ with weird stuff on it sure, but what else in this market doesn't have weird stuff on it, that's what Loretta wants to know. She puts the comb she'd been looking at back on its tray, then half-turns to Haru, a hand propped on her hip. ]

You should put that down if you're not planning on bartering anything for it. You could break it by accident and then have to work for a month in exchange, or for however long it's worth.
