Description

A pen-and-ink drawing of a squat vessel, widest near the top, with a flat rim and a small dark opening. Dense cross-hatching and shading cover the body, with a lighter band down the right side, and faint pencil guide lines show behind it. A number label sits above the vessel and a small letter mark lies at the lower right, all on a cream card.
