Description

A single jug with a flared rim, a tall neck banded with dark horizontal stripes, and a loop handle rising from the shoulder to the rim. The body is decorated with dark geometric panels of lattice, dots and diagonal bands, with a row of rosette-like motifs on the shoulder. The lower right of the body is broken away, exposing the pale fabric beneath, and the vessel stands on a plain surface.
