Description

A pottery vessel made of two rounded bodies set one above the other, with a tall, slightly curved spout rising from the upper body and two loop handles. The surface is incised with hatched chevrons and horizontal bands, and darker patches show where the surface has worn. The vessel stands on a thin wire support with three legs against a plain pale background.
