Description

A round-bodied jug with a tall neck, a trefoil-like flared mouth and a loop handle rising from the shoulder to the rim. The body carries dark painted bands running around it and a set of concentric circles on one side, with a small hole pierced through the wall near the base of the body. The jug stands on a short ring foot against a plain pale background, and its surface shows some flaking on the neck.
