Description

A round-bodied jug with a tall cylindrical neck that flares at the rim, and a strap handle running from shoulder to neck. Dark painted bands circle the neck, the rim and the lower body, and a band of triangular zigzag pattern runs around the widest part of the vessel. The pale surface is pitted in places, and the jug stands on a light surface against a grey backdrop.
