Description

A wide, reconstructed vessel with a flat outturned rim, a rounded body and a sloping shoulder, shown in side view against a plain grey backdrop. Rope-like moulded bands run around the shoulder and lower body, with looped moulded motifs on the side. Cracks cross the surface, and white plaster infill fills the areas where sherds are missing, especially on the right and at the base.
