Description

A painted jug stands on a short cylindrical foot, with a flaring rim, a banded neck and a single loop handle on the left shoulder. The rounded body carries a large concentric-circle motif at its centre, framed by a dark band, with a checkered panel and linear arrow-like and spiral motifs above and to the right. A plain light background and even lighting show the whole vessel.
