Description

A round-bodied pot with a broken, uneven rim and a short neck, photographed on a pale surface against a plain grey backdrop. Two bands of dark-painted scrolls and loops run around the shoulder, and below them the body has horizontal bands of thin lines that wind around to the low foot. A number label is not visible; the pot is shown from a slightly raised side view.
