Description

The jug stands on a ring foot against a plain pale backdrop, photographed from a three-quarter view. It has a bulbous body that narrows to a tall neck with a flared, flat-topped rim, and a single strap handle rising from the rim to the shoulder. The surface is smooth and even in tone, with faint horizontal throwing marks on the neck and no painted decoration visible.
