Description

A single pottery jug in pale buff clay stands on a low ring foot. It has a flaring pinched mouth, a tall neck with a ridged band, a rounded body with faint horizontal throwing lines, and a strap handle rising from the shoulder to the rim. A small mark is visible on the body, and a scale bar and printed museum label appear along the bottom edge of the mounted print.
