Description

A pottery vessel with a rounded body, a wide mouth and two loop handles rising from the shoulders, standing on three short, solid feet. Applied rope-like ridges run across the shoulder and body, with a row of small dots below the rim. Cracks run across the surface, which is worn and pitted, and the vessel is photographed alone against a plain grey background.
