Description

A round-bodied vessel with a tall strap handle arching over its top and a short, broken neck. The body carries dark painted bands: a wavy line on the handle, concentric circles, hatched triangles, and a cross-hatched lattice around the lower body. Cracks run across the surface, three small feet show at the base, and a number label sits at the right on a pale cloth.
