Description

A pottery jug with a tall neck, a single loop handle rising from the rim to the shoulder, and a rounded body on a low foot. The neck and shoulder carry dark painted bands and panels of zigzags, hatching, lattice and concentric circles, while the lower body has large areas where the paint has flaked away to pale clay. The jug stands on a pale surface against a light grey backdrop, with the edge of a card mount visible around the print.
