Description

A two-handled vessel with a rounded body and a tall, wide neck stands upright against a plain backdrop. Horizontal bands and fine lines encircle the body, and a zone of dark concentric circles alternates with crossed hatched strokes around the middle. Small handles rise from the shoulders, fine cracks run across the surface, and a number card stands at the left edge.
