Description

A two-handled jar with a wide rounded body, a short flared ring foot and a broken, uneven rim, standing on a pale surface against a grey backdrop. Two loop handles rise from the shoulders, one on each side. A dark band of paint runs around the middle of the body, and the surface is worn and flaking in places, with several cracks running down the sides.
