Description

A round-bodied pottery vessel with a wide flaring rim, a short foot and two small horizontal handles on the shoulder, photographed against a plain pale background. Dark painted bands encircle the neck and body, with a zigzag band below the rim and a large field of dark diagonal strokes on the belly. Cracks run across the surface and some areas of the slip are lost.
