Description

A tall vessel with a narrow neck and a single loop handle stands on a sheet of printed paper against a dark backdrop. Its pale surface carries a painted figure in profile with dark hair knotted at the back, and a patterned band below the neck. The lower body is dark, and the surface shows cracks and gaps where the sherds have been joined.
