Description

A pottery vessel with an elongated, pointed body, photographed from the side on a plain grey backdrop. Its surface is covered with a dark cross-hatched lattice, with a band of chevrons near the base, and a loop handle rises from the top at the right. A crack runs across the body near the handle, and two small feet show beneath it on a mounted print.
