A ceramic flat-bottomed vessel of medium proportion has a neck slightly bent outward. The vessel is fired in an oxidizing environment — in a hearth or bonfire. The neck and shoulders of the vessel are decorated with inclined impressions. Horizontal drawn lines separate the decorative zones and functional parts of the neck and shoulder of the vessel.

Decorative features are one of the most important signs for the identification of archaeological cultures; they allowed the researchers to attribute this vessel to the Irmen archaeological culture that existed in Western Siberia in the 13th–8th centuries BCE.

Initially, the Soviet historian and archaeologist Mikhail Petrovich Gryaznov identified a special group of monuments similar to the monuments of the Karasuk culture, and called them the Karasuk-type culture. The name “Irmen culture” was proposed by Natalya Lvovna Chlenova in 1955. In addition to Gryaznov and Chlenova, Tatyana Nikolaevna Troitskaya, Vyacheslav Ivanovich Molodin, Vladimir Ivanovich Matyushchenko, Vladimir Vasilyevich Bobrov, Alexander Vasilyevich Matveyev, Alexander Borisovich Shamshin and others studied Irmen culture.

All the Irmen vessels discovered by archaeologists can be divided into three types:

The main occupation of the Irmen was animal husbandry — breeding horses, large and small cattle. Agriculture and handicrafts also played an important role.
