Description

A round-bodied two-handled vessel with a short neck and a broken, paler rim, shown head-on against a pale backdrop. Two thin loop handles rise from the shoulder to the neck, and the surface is mottled and worn with a darker band near the base. The vessel stands on two thin dark supports, and printed text at the top edge is cut off by the frame.
