Description

A tall jar with a wide flared rim, two loop handles on the shoulder and a tapering base, standing on a pale surface. Dark painted bands run around the neck, with a row of triangles above a frieze of fish, and the shoulder carries stylised leafy motifs. Hairline cracks show where the vessel has been broken and mended.
