Description

A globular jug with a tall, narrow neck, a flaring rim with a pinched spout, and a strap handle running from the rim down to the shoulder. A band of small dots encircles the base of the neck, and the body carries concentric circle motifs, including a larger arc of rings on the lower side. A pale patch of worn surface shows near the base, and the jug stands on a plain pale surface against a grey backdrop.
