Description

A globular jug with a wide, pinched mouth and a strap handle rising from the shoulder to the rim, standing on a low ring base. The pale surface carries dark painted decoration: a large bird with a long neck and open beak pointing right, its legs trailing below, and a spray of pointed fronds on the right. The vessel is shown on a light surface and the print is mounted on a card with a number label in the lower corner.
