Description

A pottery jug with a rounded body, a tall neck with a flaring rim and a strap handle running from rim to shoulder. A tubular spout projects from the left shoulder with its tip broken, and a small modelled lump is applied near the neck. The surface is worn and mottled, with dark painted bands across the lower body, and the vessel stands on a ring foot against a pale backdrop with a number label at lower left.
