A tall two-handled vessel with a flaring rim, a narrow neck and a rounded body that tapers to a narrow base, photographed upright against a plain pale background. The neck carries bands of horizontal lines and hatched triangles, and the shoulder has a row of checkerboard lozenges between vertical hatched bands. Two loop handles rise from the shoulder, and the lower body is decorated with broad horizontal bands.
