Description

A two-handled vessel with a wide neck and rounded body stands on a low ring foot against a pale background. The neck carries a pair of concentric circles, and the shoulder and body are painted with zigzag and leaf-like motifs above and horizontal bands below. Cracks and join lines show that the vessel has been broken and mended, and a number label sits at the lower right.
