Description

A single-handled jug stands on a pale surface against a light background. It has a loop handle rising from the shoulder to a tall neck with a pinched, flared rim, and a rounded body covered in closely spaced vertical grooves with horizontal lines near the shoulder. The surface is dark and worn in places, and a number label is visible at the lower edge of the mounted photograph.
