Description

A nearly complete ovoid vessel with a broad body and a flat pedestal foot, photographed upright on a pale background. Light figures on the dark surface show a bearded man seated in profile, wearing a striped garment, and a standing figure in a long draped robe at right. A band of key pattern runs around the lower body, and the surface has chips, cracks and losses.
