Description

A round-bodied jug with a tall strap handle and a spouted mouth, shown upright on a pale surface against a grey backdrop. The light surface carries dark painted decoration: a large animal with a long neck, head and thin legs, two rosette motifs on its body, and a feathery plant-like shape at the left. A zigzag band runs around the neck.
