Description

A two-handled jar with a wide rounded body, a short neck and a flat rim stands on a pale surface against a plain grey background. Dark painted bands encircle the shoulder and lower body, with fine horizontal lines between them. On the upper body, a cross-hatched panel, diagonal strokes and vertical hatched stripes form the pattern, with a smaller curved motif lower on the right, and the surface shows wear and small chips.
