Description

A round-bodied jug with a tall, flaring spout, a loop handle on one side and a small lug on the other, standing on thin supports against a plain grey backdrop. The dark, mottled surface carries a raised wavy band running down the left of the body and a few round raised motifs on the shoulder. The rim of the spout is uneven and some surface wear shows.
