Description

A dark-surfaced pottery vessel with a rounded body, a tall strap handle rising from the shoulder, and a wide spout-like opening facing the camera. Pale painted leaf or palmette-like motifs with dark outlines decorate the sides of the body. The vessel stands on a pale surface against a light backdrop, and a handwritten label is visible along the bottom edge of the mounted print.
