Description

A large pottery vessel with a short flaring rim, a narrow neck and two tall vertical handles rising above the rim. The rounded body tapers to a pointed base and is cracked in several places, with the crack lines clearly visible on the surface. It stands on a pale, plain backdrop, and a handwritten label appears along the bottom edge of the mounted print.
