Description

The small jug stands on a dark cloth against a dark backdrop, with a loop handle on one side and a chipped, broken rim at the top. Dark painted bands encircle the neck and body, with a zigzag motif below the neck and a triangle filled with a checkered pattern on the shoulder. The vessel rests on a narrow ring foot, and its surface is worn in places.
