Description

A round, shallow clay object seen from above, with a long projecting handle or nozzle at the top and a loop handle at the bottom. Dark painted triangles form bands around the rim, and a series of raised concentric rings surrounds a central knob, with worn patches in the paint. It is photographed against a plain grey background, with a handwritten number label in the top left corner and a partly visible handwritten label at the bottom right.
