Description

A single vessel photographed in three-quarter view on a pale surface, with a flaring spout to the left and a thick arched handle. A raised central boss ringed by decoration sits on the flattened round body, and a painted head in profile appears on the front above curling scroll shapes. The surface is worn and chipped in places, and handwritten marks show on the mount below.
