Description

A round-bodied jug with a narrow neck, a trefoil-style pouring lip and a single strap handle rising from the shoulder to the rim. Horizontal bands of dark paint run around the neck, shoulder and lower body, and a short foot supports the vessel. The surface shows small dark speckles and a few light scratches, and the jug stands on a plain surface against a pale backdrop.
