Description

A two-handled jar with a flaring neck and rounded body stands on a low foot, photographed against a plain pale background. Dark painted bands encircle the neck, shoulder and lower body, and a band of wavy lines runs across the middle of the body. Below the neck a small triangular panel is filled with cross-hatching, and a handle loops from the shoulder down to the body on each side.
