Description

A large two-handled vessel stands upright on a pale surface, with a short flaring neck, a rounded body and a narrow base. Rows of concentric-circle motifs run around the neck and shoulder, and fine horizontal bands and dark stripes cover the body. The surface shows some wear and small chips, and the print has a light mount border.
