Description

A large round-bodied vessel with a short neck and two loop handles, shown in side view against a pale background. Dark horizontal bands and rows of fine lines run around the body, and two vertical panels of lattice-like ornament frame a painted four-legged animal with a long curved neck and head. The surface shows small chips and wear, especially near the animal.
