Description

A tall vessel with two loop handles rising from a short, wide neck to a rounded shoulder and body. The neck carries a band of dark painted triangular or zigzag pattern, and the body shows darker painted marks to the right, with patches of surface flaking. A long crack runs down the side, and the vessel stands on a low, flared foot against a plain light background.
