Description

A tall jug with a narrow flared neck, a loop handle running from the rim to the shoulder, and a spout modelled as a head with a muzzle on the left. The round body sits on a short foot and carries dark horizontal bands, thin pale lines and a cross-hatched band across the upper body, with a row of triangles on the rim. The surface is speckled with light flecks, and the jug stands upright against a plain pale background.
