Description

A round-bodied jug with a tall loop handle and a flaring neck stands on a pale surface, photographed from a slightly raised angle. Its pale body carries dark painted motifs: on the left an animal-like figure beside leafy sprigs, and on the right a figure with banded and angular marks. The surface is worn and mottled, with small cracks and spots visible across the body.
