Description

A globular jug with a tall, flaring neck and a wide rim, standing on a short cylindrical base. The body carries dark painted decoration on a light ground: vertical panels of closely spaced lines, a band of lozenges near the shoulder, and a central panel with a spiral motif flanked by arrow-like chevrons and small hooked shapes. Small knobs project from the sides of the body against a plain grey backdrop.
