Description

A two-handled jar with a wide, slightly flaring neck and a rounded body narrowing to a small ring base. The neck is painted with dark lattice and diamond motifs, and a band of zigzags runs around the shoulder above several thin horizontal lines. The surface is worn, with patches of lost slip on the lower body, and the jar is photographed alone against a plain light background.
