Description

A large, round-bodied vessel with a short foot, its neck and upper part broken into several pieces, one fragment tilted out of place. Dark painted decoration runs around it: a wavy band near the top, a frieze of stylised motifs on the shoulder, and several horizontal bands on the body, with some paint worn away. Paper number labels lie on the surface beside it.
