A round-bodied jug with a broad, rounded shoulder and a tall neck on the left whose rim is broken, leaving a jagged top. A smaller spout or lug projects from the right shoulder, and faint incised grooves run around the upper body. The jug stands on a pale surface against a plain light backdrop, with a small number label partly visible at the left edge.
