Description

A black-painted jug with a tall, flaring neck, a single loop handle rising from the rim to the shoulder, and a rounded body with a narrow foot. The body carries a large central concentric-ring motif, three smaller spiral discs, and a broad band of fine concentric lines around the shoulder. The surface is slightly chipped at the rim and foot, and the jug is photographed straight on against a pale backdrop.
