Description

A jug with a single loop handle, a pinched spout and a rounded body on a low foot. The body is decorated in dark paint with a large animal-like figure with round, rosette-like circles, and hatched fronds and leaf shapes fill the spaces around it. Hairline cracks run across the surface, and the jug is shown against a plain grey backdrop.
