Description

A wheel-made vessel with a wide flaring rim, two loop handles at the shoulder and a rounded body narrowing to a low ring base. Dark painted motifs fill the upper body: curved arcs beside each handle and a dotted checkerboard panel between zigzag bands. Fine horizontal turning lines cover the lower body and a crack runs down the centre, with the vessel standing on a pale surface against a plain grey background.
