Description

A jug with a broad strap handle, its outer face marked with horizontal grooves, rising from a flaring rim with a pinched lip. The globular body has several dark painted bands near the shoulder and a broader band lower down, above a short footed base whose edge is chipped. It stands on a pale surface against a plain light backdrop, shown as a print on a card mount.
