Description, scan 2
A jug with a narrow neck, a single loop handle rising from the rim to the shoulder, and a rounded body on a low base. Dark painted bands circle the neck and body, with groups of thin parallel lines between broader bands, and the pale surface shows mottling and wear. It is photographed against a plain grey backdrop on a mount with handwritten marks along the bottom edge.
