A large pottery vessel with a wide body, flared rim and a vertical strap handle rising from the shoulder to the rim. Dark painted horizontal bands circle the lower body, and the shoulder carries a dark motif resembling a bird, with spiral and dotted ornament and circles with cross-hatching on either side.
