Description

A round-bodied jug with a tall neck that flares to a rim and a single loop handle rising from shoulder to neck. Dark painted concentric circles and curving bands cover the body, with a figure resembling a bird or animal on the left side and a circular motif on the right. The surface is worn and slightly scratched, and the jug stands on a pale surface against a plain grey backdrop.
