Description

A single round-bodied jug stands on a pale surface against a plain grey backdrop. It has a wide flat rim, a short neck with several raised ribs, and a loop handle rising from the shoulder to the rim. Dark concentric bands encircle the body around a small ring-shaped mark at the front, and the surface shows some wear.
