Description

A two-handled vessel with a wide flared neck, rounded shoulders and a narrow foot stands on a pale surface against a plain backdrop. Thin painted bands run round the neck and shoulder, and a broad band of fan-shaped leaf motifs decorates the middle of the body, while the lower body is plain. A small number label sits at the lower left, and handwritten notes appear along the bottom edge of the card mount.
