Description

A large two-handled vessel with a narrow neck, rounded body and flat foot stands alone against a pale background. Dark horizontal bands run around the body and shoulder, and under the handles the shoulder carries vertical stripes between triangular panels. A long crack runs down the side from the neck, and the surface shows small chips and wear.
