Description

A round-bodied pottery jug with a face modelled in relief at the flat-topped neck, showing eyes, nose and mouth. A strap handle rises from the shoulder to the rim, and a ridged tubular spout projects from one side of the body. Dark painted bands encircle the lower body and neck, with dark spiral motifs on the shoulder; the vessel stands on a low ring base on a pale surface.
