Description

A large pottery jar with a narrow neck, two tall loop handles rising from the shoulder, and a rounded body tapering to a pointed base. Faint horizontal grooves run around the body, and pale patches, possibly restoration material, mark the rim and lower part. The vessel stands on a dark metal stand, with a small label near the base; a small white head figurine sits on a shelf at the left.
