Description

A pottery vessel shaped like a bird, with a long curved neck ending in a short beak and a tall flared spout rising from the back. A loop handle arches between the spout and the tail, and the body carries dark painted bands and a large oval panel of vertical stripes and spirals. The vessel stands on a pale surface, with a number label written in the lower right corner.
