Description

A round, bulbous pottery vessel with a small knob on each side of its top, its pale surface covered in dark painted bands. The bands form wavy and hatched lines, with several small circles among them, and the body curves down to a rounded base. The vessel stands on a plain pale surface and casts a soft shadow beneath it.
