Description

A tall two-handled vessel with a flaring rim, a narrow neck and a rounded body tapering to a flat base. Dark painted bands encircle the neck and body, a row of checkered diamonds runs around the neck, and a large lozenge panel filled with a checkerboard pattern sits on the body. Small loop handles rise from the shoulders, and the surface shows flaking and wear.
