Description

A painted pottery jug with a tall neck, flared rim and a strap handle running from neck to shoulder. A small modelled animal figure clings to the shoulder at the left. Dark horizontal bands circle the round body, a pattern of triangles decorates the neck, and cracks and worn patches show; the vessel stands on a ring foot against a plain backdrop, with a number label at lower left.
