Description

A round-bodied jug with a tall narrow neck, a flaring rim and a single loop handle running from shoulder to rim. The pale surface has dark painted horizontal bands around the body and shoulder, and dark sprig-like motifs with short drips beneath the neck. It stands on a low ring foot against a plain backdrop, photographed from a three-quarter view.
