Description

A jug with a single loop handle rising from the shoulder to a flared mouth, a cylindrical neck and a rounded body. The body is decorated in dark paint with concentric circles, a large arc of closely spaced rings and several broad bands. Cracks run across the surface, and the jug stands on a plain surface against a pale background.
