The jar is 80-90 centimeters tall and 40-50 centimeters wide, with elaborate ornaments on the lid, such as the double row of scalloped cut-out edges along the rim with 4 notches. It is found in the Bacong jar burial sites, located in southeastern Negros island in Central Philippines.

Burial Jars are commonly used in funerary traditions during the Metal Age. The differing sizes showcase how the deceased are buried, usually with huge sizes it can fit a full body, but with this jar, the practice of reburying skeletal remains in a tinier container is at practice here. This is called the second burial. The funerary arrangements at the Bacong burial sites do not indicate social differentiation, suggesting a bond between people in the early communities.

The acidic nature of the soils in surrounding areas, from to the Bacong region being in the Cuerdos de Negros volcanic system, have led to poor preservation of organic material in the burial sites. However information about the Bacong jar burial sites still contain useful information that stood the test of time.

Bacong has been known to archaeologists as a significant Metal Age site (between 2500 to 1000 BP) as early as the 1970s, when treasure hunters initially discovered the graves and sold them as “antique objects” looted from the sites. To stem the loss of information through pillaging during that period, archaeologists from Silliman University led by Lionel Chiong, and the University of San Carlos led by Rosa C.P. Tenazas eventually excavated some of the jar burial sites.
