A single-handled jug with a pinched, flared spout, a short neck and a rounded ovoid body, standing on a low foot against a plain grey backdrop. Dark painted bands encircle the neck base, shoulder and body, and a hatched triangle is painted on the shoulder below the handle. The surface shows small pits and chips in the pale clay.
