Description

A two-handled pottery jar with a rounded body, a tall narrow neck and a flat-topped rim, standing on a short ring foot. The dark surface is worn and flaking in places, and long cracks run across the shoulder and body where the vessel has been broken and mended. It is photographed alone in side view against a plain pale background.
