Description

A two-handled vessel with a wide rounded body, a short neck and a flared rim with a small lip on one side. The surface carries bands of linear decoration, including concentric circles, rows of short hatched strokes and zigzag lines, with patches of worn surface. The vessel stands on a pale surface in front of a plain backdrop, and handwritten notes appear along the bottom edge of the print.
