Description

A large round-bodied jar with two loop handles rising from the shoulder to the rim, standing on a small ring foot on a white cloth. The neck carries vertical hatching and a crossed motif flanked by small loops, while the shoulder has arrow-like strokes and a band of nested chevrons. Below, the body is covered in horizontal bands of varying width, and the print shows fine scratches.
