Description

A single pottery vessel shown in side view on a plain surface: a tall jug-like tankard with a strap handle rising from the shoulder to the rim and a rounded body on a low foot. Bands of dark paint encircle the body and neck, and the neck carries a row of triangular zigzags above a looping curved motif with a star-shaped rosette. The surface shows cracks, worn areas and dark stains.
