Description

A tall jug with a strap handle and a narrow neck, shown alone against a plain grey backdrop. The pale body carries a painted standing woman in profile, facing left, with her hair gathered in a bun and a long garment. A band of meander pattern runs below the neck, and the vessel has been reassembled from several fragments, with visible joins and losses.
