Description

The vessel sits on a pale, plain surface and is seen from the side with its wide mouth at the top. Its body is rounded and heavy, with a short flaring neck and two projecting lugs on the shoulders, one of them pierced by a small hole. The dark, abraded surface shows scratches, chipped patches and cracks, especially near the base and on the left side.
