Description

A two-handled jar stands on a plain grey backdrop, seen from the front. Its body is rounded, with a narrow neck, short rim and low ring foot. Dark bands encircle the neck and lower body, with fine parallel lines on the shoulder and a wavy painted line between the bands. Small chips show on the surface, and the print sits on a card with handwritten marks at the bottom.

A two-handled jar with a flared rim, a broad shoulder and a narrow ring base stands on a pale backdrop. The neck carries many fine painted rings, a broad dark band runs across the shoulder, and a wavy line and further dark bands encircle the body. Two loop handles rise from the shoulder, and the surface shows small chips and wear.
