Description

A two-handled jar with a wide flat-topped rim, a tall narrow neck and a rounded body that tapers to a small base. Two handles rise from the shoulder to the neck, and a band of ridges runs around the shoulder. The dark, mottled surface has lighter patches and some chipping near the base, and the jar stands on a plain floor against a pale cloth backdrop.
