Description

A round-bodied jug with a tall cylindrical neck, a pinched spout at the rim and a strap handle running from rim to shoulder. The body is painted with dark concentric circles around a central target-like motif, with a ring of spiral roundels among the bands. Dark bands circle the neck and its base, and the vessel stands on a plain pale surface against a grey backdrop.
