Description

A round-bodied jar with two handles, a flared rim and a narrow neck, standing on a short ring base. Horizontal bands encircle the neck and shoulder, and the body carries lattice panels on either side of a central panel with two dark curved shapes meeting above a small triangle. The handles and base show some chipping and wear.
