Description

A two-handled pottery vessel with a wide mouth and rounded body, shown in side view on a pale surface against a grey background. Dark painted horizontal bands run around the neck and shoulder, and between them stylised bird-like motifs with long curved necks alternate with small square-shaped ornaments. The vessel is cracked across its body and has been put back together from fragments, and a small foot ring is visible at the base.
