Description

A two-handled pottery vessel with a narrow neck, rounded body and pointed base stands on a thin metal wire stand. Dark painted bands encircle the neck and shoulder, and a wavy painted line runs across the upper body, with more bands near the base. The surface is pale and slightly worn, and the vessel is photographed against a plain light background.
