Description

A pottery vessel with a globular body, a tall narrow neck that flares at the rim, and a single strap handle rising from the shoulder to the neck. The dark surface is worn in places, and groups of straight linear bands, some running around the belly, cover the body. It stands on a light surface against a plain grey backdrop, with a soft shadow beneath it.
