Description

A jug with a tall, narrow neck, a flared rim and a strap handle with knobs where it joins the rim and the body. A band of wavy lines runs around the shoulder, and the rounded body is decorated with long vertical grooves that taper towards a small foot ring. The jug stands alone against a plain backdrop, and the print is mounted on a card with a light border.
