Description

The vessel is photographed face-on against a plain grey background, with a short tubular neck at the top and a loop-like projection at the base. Its pale surface carries dark painted bands: a thick outer rim, a dark central disc with a spiral of concentric rings, and four groups of parallel lines radiating outward. A number label sits in the top left corner of the mounted print.
