Description

A two-handled pottery vessel with a wide mouth, rounded body and short splayed foot is shown from the front. Dark painted bands encircle the body, and between them a zone of diamond-shaped and triangular motifs runs around the vessel. The handles rise from the shoulder to the rim, and the vessel stands on a pale surface on a print mounted on a card with a printed number label in the lower right corner.
