Description

A tall two-handled vessel with a narrow neck, rounded shoulders and a tapering pointed base stands upright against a pale backdrop. Many cracks and join lines show that it has been reassembled from broken pieces, and some surface is worn or missing near the shoulder and base. A number label reading M.61.3 sits at the lower right.
