Description

A footed vessel with a wide, rounded bowl, two small horizontal handles at the rim and a tall, flaring pedestal foot. The upper band carries stylised flowers and vertical stripes, and the body has large crescent-like curves, a checkered panel and dark wedge shapes between lighter fields. The surface is worn and speckled in places, and the vessel is photographed against a plain pale backdrop on a mounted card.
