Description

A tall vessel with a flaring mouth, a narrow neck and a ring foot, with a dark glossy surface. On the body a lighter standing figure in a long draped garment holds a spear, with a shield-like shape at the left, between bands of key pattern. The vessel stands on a disc base against a plain grey backdrop, and a crack runs across the body.
