Description

A tall, egg-shaped pottery jar with a narrow neck, a flat-topped rim and two vertical loop handles running from shoulder to neck. It has been pieced together from many sherds, and the joins and a pale filler on the neck are clearly visible. It stands on a pointed base against a draped cloth, with a small card label at lower left.
