Description

A round pottery vessel stands on a pale backdrop, with a ribbed strap handle rising from its top and a small flared spout on the right side. A raised collar on the upper body holds a disc pierced with many small holes. The dark surface has worn pale patches, and painted ornament is visible on the lower body, including a rosette, spirals and a curved motif, with faint figure-like shapes on the left and upper body.
