Description

A wide-bodied vessel with a short, open neck and two vertical handles on the shoulders, photographed on a pale floor against a grey background. Dark painted bands run around the rim and shoulder, and a frieze of hatched, arrow-like wavy motifs wraps around the body between further bands near the base. The surface shows fine cracks and repaired breaks, and the foot is plain.
