Description

A two-handled vessel with a wide mouth, tall neck and rounded body, standing on a small flaring foot against a plain pale background. The neck carries horizontal bands and wavy lines, and the shoulder has a frieze of dark-painted circles and leaf-like petals between vertical bands. Several horizontal bands in dark paint run around the lower body, and fine cracks show across the neck and shoulder.
