Description

A large jar with a wide body and flared rim stands on a square white pedestal, its surface marked by raised curved bands and a horizontal ridge. On the left a man in a suit with a striped pattern, one hand in his pocket, looks up at the rim; on the right a man in a dark suit stands with his arms behind his back. A small white label is on the pedestal.
