Description

A two-handled, footed pottery vessel with a tall neck and rounded body, shown in a front three-quarter view on a pale surface against a grey backdrop. Dark painted bands run around the neck and shoulder, and three stylised human faces in profile, with drawn eyes and noses, are painted across the body. Horizontal grooves encircle the lower body, and cracks and a repaired break show on the surface, with a small number card attached near the foot.
