Description

A squat, round-bodied jug stands on small feet against a plain backdrop. Its flat-rimmed mouth and short neck carry thin horizontal lines and dark bands, while the body has vertical bands of fine lines and dark stripes, with stylised plant and concentric-circle motifs on either side and a looser motif near the top centre. The surface shows dark mottling and wear.
