Description

A large two-handled, round-bodied vessel with a wide flat-topped rim stands on a pale cloth, photographed from the side. Below the rim is a zigzag band, then thin horizontal lines, a central zone of diagonal cross-hatching, and a broad dark band with fine lines. The lower body is rough and worn, with chips and surface loss, and a loop handle rises from each shoulder.
