Description

A large two-handled pottery vessel with a wide body, a short neck and a footed base, photographed from the front on a plain background. The lower body and neck are dark, while a band of light painted figures runs around the body between ornamented borders, with some cracks and losses visible. A row of small patterned ornament decorates the rim, and a scale bar stands at the right edge.
