Description

A round-bodied jug with a tall, narrow neck and a strap handle rising from the shoulder to the rim. The neck has horizontal incised bands, and the globular body is decorated with comb-incised vertical, diagonal and horizontal lines. Dark patches of discolouration mark the surface, and the rim looks uneven, and the jug stands on a dark base against a plain light background.
