Description

A single pottery jug with a tall neck, a rounded egg-shaped body and a curved strap handle rising from the shoulder to the rim. The surface is dark with faint horizontal bands of incised or painted lines around the neck and body, and there are light speckled areas where the surface has flaked. The jug stands on a low ring foot on a pale surface against a plain grey backdrop.
