Description

A round-bodied jar with a wide flared rim, two small loop handles on the shoulder and a low ring foot, its surface dark with a black slip. A rectangular panel on the body carries a diamond-shaped pattern of pale painted lines, and pale bands run around the lower body. The jar stands on a pale surface against a light background, shown on a mounted card with handwritten notes in the margins.
