Description

A pottery vessel with a wide flared mouth, a short neck, a rounded body and a small ring foot, seen from the front against a plain pale background. Dark painted horizontal bands run across the neck and shoulder, a wavy painted line encircles the middle of the body, and more bands sit near the base. Two small loop handles rise from the shoulder, and the right handle is broken at its top.
