Description

A round-bodied jug with a strap handle, a flared rim and a banded neck, photographed against a plain grey backdrop. Dark diagonal bands form a lattice over the body, and a bird-like figure with a long beak and striped tail sits in a panel on the shoulder. The surface shows cracks and small areas of loss, and the print is mounted on a card with a number label at the lower right.
