Description

A large two-handled vessel with an ovoid body, a short neck and loop handles rising from the shoulder to the rim. Dark horizontal bands and fine lines run around the body, a wavy band decorates the neck, and a painted frieze of figures or motifs sits on the shoulder, which is hard to make out in detail. The surface shows scratches and small chips, and the vessel stands on a plain pale surface.
