Description

A round-bodied jug with a short, broken neck and rim stands on a small foot against a plain backdrop. Its surface is made up of many reconstructed sherds joined by dark cracks, with a large pale restoration infill across the lower body. Faint dark painted motifs are visible on the upper shoulder, and the photograph is mounted on a card with handwritten marks along the bottom edge.
