Description

A tall pottery vessel with a narrow neck, an irregular broken rim and a single loop handle rising from the shoulder to the rim on the left. The rounded body has a mottled dark surface with pale patches of wear, and no painted decoration is clearly visible. The photograph is mounted on a pale card with a narrow border, and a printed number label and a handwritten number appear in the corners.
