Description

A round-bodied jug with a tall, flaring neck and a strap handle running from shoulder to neck on the left. The rim on the far side is broken, leaving a jagged edge, and a small stub of a second handle shows on the right shoulder. The surface shows grey tones, darker patches and fine cracks across the body, and the jug stands on a clear support against a pale backdrop.
