Description

A rounded pottery vessel with a flared, beaked spout at the left and a strap handle arching over the top. Dark painted bands encircle the shoulder and body, with spiral motifs between them. The painted surface has flaked away in many pale patches, especially on the lower body, and the vessel stands on a plain pale surface.
