Description

A tall jar with a flared rim, a narrow neck and a rounded body stands on a low ring foot, with two small loop handles rising from the shoulders. The neck carries a diamond panel of cross-hatched lozenges, and the body has large arcs, an X-shaped motif and broad horizontal bands near the base. Some surface wear shows, and the vessel is photographed against a plain light background.
