Description

A tall painted vessel with a flared rim, two loop handles on the shoulder and a rounded body, photographed upright against a plain grey backdrop. The neck carries a band of interlocking patterns and diamond-shaped panels, and the shoulder has a row of pendant loops and leaf-like motifs between horizontal bands. A long crack runs down the neck, and the base rests on a pale surface.
