Description

A large two-handled vessel with a flat, flared rim and a tall neck, photographed upright on a table against a grey backdrop. The neck carries zigzag bands and a framed diamond panel with a cross-like motif, and the shoulder has pointed, leaf-like shapes above looping arcs. Horizontal painted bands run around the body, cracks show on the lower part, and a small card label sits at the lower right corner.
