Description

A single painted vessel with a tall neck, a flaring rim and a rounded body on a low ring foot. Dark spiral motifs decorate the neck, and wavy scrolls and vertical stripes fill the shoulder above broad dark bands around the lower body. Cracks run across the body, and a broken piece of neck and shoulder sits slightly out of line, shown against a plain pale background.
