Description

A two-handled jar with a wide mouth, tall neck and rounded body rests on a low ring foot. Its surface shows dark bands of painted decoration around the neck and shoulder, and the lower body is covered in vertical streaks. Several cracks run across the body, and a few areas of the wall are chipped, with pale patches where material has broken away.
