Description

A two-handled vessel with a wide mouth and a flaring rim stands on a pale surface against a plain background. Its neck and shoulder carry rows of concentric circles in dark paint, and dark and thin banded lines encircle the body. Cracks run across the surface, especially on the lower body, and the photograph is mounted on a card with a handwritten label along the bottom edge.
