Description

A tall, narrow painted vessel with a wide flaring rim, a slender neck and two loop handles rising from the shoulder. The body widens toward a flat base and is decorated in dark paint with triangles on the shoulder, horizontal bands, and zones of cross-hatched lozenges alternating with vertical stripes. It is shown upright against a plain background, as a print mounted on a card.
