Description

A two-handled pottery jar with a flared rim, short neck and rounded body stands on a low foot against a plain backdrop. Dark painted bands encircle the neck, shoulder and lower body, with a wavy painted line across the middle and fine lines running around the shoulder. A number label sits at the lower left, and the pale surface shows some wear.
