Description

The jug has a globular body on a low ring foot, a tall narrow neck with a flared rim and a ridge at the base of the neck, and a strap handle rising from the shoulder to the neck. The vessel appears in dark grey tones with lighter worn patches and fine horizontal marks on the body, and no painted decoration is clearly visible. A small number label is printed in the lower corner, outside the photograph.
