Description

A jug with a flaring rim, a single loop handle and a narrow neck, standing on a low ring base. The neck has wavy painted lines, a dark band marks the shoulder, and two broad dark bands with thin lines encircle the body, with a further pair of lines near the base. The vessel stands on a plain surface against a pale backdrop, and handwritten notes appear along the bottom edge of the mount.
