Description

A two-handled jar with a wide flaring rim, a tall narrow neck and a rounded body that tapers to a small flat base. Dark painted bands encircle the neck, the shoulder and the widest part of the body, with lighter clay between them, and the handles rise from the shoulders. The vessel stands alone on a plain pale surface against a plain light background, photographed straight on, with a number label in the lower right corner.
