Description

A round-bodied jug with a flaring rim, a short cylindrical neck and a single strap handle running from the neck to the upper body. Dark painted concentric circles appear on the shoulder at left and as a large ring on the body, and the surface shows some wear and scratches. It is photographed alone against a plain pale background, seen slightly from the side.
