Description

A round-bodied jug with a strap handle on the left and a tall flared neck banded with horizontal lines near the rim. The body carries a large painted motif of concentric rings around a dark band enclosing a pinwheel of pale triangles, with further bands curving down the left side. The jug stands on a pale surface against a plain grey backdrop, shown straight on, and its surface shows small pits and wear.
