Description

A pale, unpainted pottery vessel with a wide flaring mouth, a narrow neck and a rounded body tapering to a flat base, with two handles rising from the shoulder. Several cracks run across the body and some pieces appear rejoined. A small label with handwritten numbers stands on the surface at the lower left, and a number is written on the base.
