Description

A single pottery vessel stands on a low footed base, with a rounded body decorated with vertical fluting or grooves over its lower and middle sections. Two strap handles rise from the shoulder to the rim, and the rim has a chipped area on one side. The surface is dark and slightly worn, and the vessel is shown on a pale, plain surface against a light backdrop.
