Description

Two jugs with rounded bodies, pinched spouts and single loop handles stand side by side on a pale surface. Both have dark painted bands around the neck and shoulder and a large dark concentric-circle motif on the body, with smaller concentric circles scattered around it. The jug on the right shows visible cracks across its body and neck.
