Description

A large two-handled vessel with a wide mouth, a rounded body narrowing to a flared ring foot, shown in front view against a plain grey background. Dark horizontal bands encircle the shoulder and lower body, and the upper zone carries dotted and curvilinear motifs, including a large circle divided into quadrants with dots. Cracks and small areas of surface loss are visible on the body.
