Description

The jug stands on a plain surface against a grey backdrop, shown from a three-quarter angle. It has a rounded body, a tall neck with a flaring rim and a loop handle with dark banded decoration, and dark painted stripes run around the body. Several cracks show where broken pieces have been rejoined, and a few handwritten marks are visible along the bottom edge of the mount.
