Description

A round-bodied two-handled jug with a wide flaring neck and a narrow ring foot stands on a pale surface against a plain backdrop. Dark painted bands of horizontal lines encircle the neck, shoulder and lower body, and the upper body carries large dark scroll and leaf motifs with spiral ends. The surface is worn and chipped in places, and the handles are plain loops.
