Description

A squat, round-bodied vessel with a broken, uneven rim and a short foot, photographed in close view against a plain pale background. Dark painted decoration runs around it: a row of pendent, tongue-like motifs sits on the shoulder, above several horizontal bands and a broad dark band near the base. A handwritten mark is visible on the body, and a number label on a card stands at the right edge.
