Description

A globular vessel with a tall neck and a looped strap handle rising above the rim, and a short spout projecting to the left. Several horizontal bands of incised lines run around the shoulder and middle of the body, with a spiral motif on the left side. The dark grey surface shows scratches and worn patches, and the vessel stands against a plain white background on a card mount with handwritten labels around the edge.
