A pale pottery vessel with a wide body, a narrow ring foot and a broken, uneven rim shown on a plain light surface. Dark painted bands encircle the body, and the upper zone carries angular triangular and zigzag patterns between horizontal lines. A crack runs down the right side and a small number label sits at the right edge of the surface.
