Description

A two-handled jar with a flared rim and a rounded body stands on a short ring foot against a plain pale background. Its neck carries rows of drop-shaped motifs, and the body has a central panel of spirals flanked by vertical leafy stems, with dotted and lined bands above and below. The surface is pitted and flaking in places, and the handles rise to either side of the shoulder.
