Description

A two-handled pottery vessel with a rounded body and wide mouth, photographed from the side on a pale background. Dark crossing diagonal bands form a lattice of diamond shapes on the upper body, and horizontal bands run around the lower body. The surface looks slightly worn, and the print is mounted on a cream card.
