Description

A jug with a tall neck and strap handle, shown upright against a plain backdrop with handwriting along the card mount's bottom edge. Dark painted bands cover the pale surface, with a hatched zigzag band under the rim, a long-necked bird walking right, and a second bird cut off at the left edge. A band of interlocking spirals encircles the shoulder above the plain lower body.
