Description

A round-bodied vessel with a wide flared rim, two upright loop handles at the shoulder and a tall pedestal foot stands on a pale surface. Its upper body carries painted decoration: a row of dark bird-like figures with pale heads above rectangular panels, small motifs between them, and hatched vertical bands on each side. Horizontal bands run around the lower body, and a small dark object lies to the right.
