Description

A wheel-made pot stands on a plain surface, with a wide rim, two handles rising at the rim and a flat foot. The upper zone has painted bird-like figures with long necks on either side of a checkerboard panel and vertical zigzag bands, while the lower body has horizontal banding. A large hole has broken through the side of the wall, and a crack runs up the vessel.
