Description

A large two-handled vessel with a wide rim, rounded body and narrow foot, standing on a pale cloth. The shoulder is painted with rows of concentric circles, and the neck with vertical zigzag and lattice bands. Dark horizontal bands run around the lower body, and the twisted, rope-like handles rise from the shoulder to the rim.
