Description

A globular jug stands on a low ring foot, with a tall neck, a strap handle rising above the rim and a short spout on the right shoulder. Dark painted bands encircle the shoulder and body, and a row of semicircular arches with pale panels sits above a broad dark band. The jug is shown against a plain grey backdrop, mounted on a card with handwritten labels around it.
