Description

A wheel-made pottery vessel with a short flaring neck, rounded body, narrow foot and two loop handles on the shoulder, standing on a pale surface against a plain grey backdrop. The surface is dark and smooth, with faint horizontal throwing marks and a few small chips near the rim. No white painted decoration is visible, and the whole vessel is in view.
