Description

A two-handled jar with a wide, flat-rimmed mouth, a rounded body and a narrow foot, standing on a plain surface. Dark horizontal bands run around the lower body and shoulder, and small concentric circles are visible on the upper body. Much of the painted surface has flaked away, showing paler clay beneath, and the loop handles rise from the rim to the shoulder.
