Description

A tall painted vessel with a flaring neck and two loop handles stands on a pale backdrop. Dark bands circle the lower body, and a row of pointed leaf-like motifs runs around the shoulder, with a geometric pattern on the neck. The base tapers to a rounded foot, and the photograph sits on a card border with handwritten notes and a printed number label.
